IOW: file.extension and file.ExTeNsIoN are the same thing on vfat. On all *nix filesystems that I am aware of the above example would be treated as different files. Something like this: (tigger pts3) $ touch foo.bar (tigger pts3) $ ll foo* -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 0 Dec 24 10:00 foo.bar (tigger pts3) $ cp foo.bar fOo.BaR (tigger pts3) $ ll f* -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 0 Dec 24 10:00 fOo.BaR -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 0 Dec 24 10:00 foo.bar (tigger pts3) $ mv foo.bar foo.BAR (tigger pts3) $ ll f* -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 0 Dec 24 10:00 fOo.BaR -rw-rw-r-- 1 tdiehl tdiehl 0 Dec 24 10:00 foo.BAR (tigger pts3) $ > > Trevor Smith wrote: > > > The other day I wanted to rename one file from a console window like > > > this: > > > > > > filename.extension > > > > > > to > > > > > > filename.EXTENSION > > > > > > I couldn't find any way to do it while leaving the file in the same > > > directory.
