I have had a bit of a problem getting consistency in filenames between NTFS and HPUX-Samba shares. Every time files are moved or copied to the samba-shares they convert all cases to lower. I have put the following in to smb.conf case sensitivity = yes preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes which I put in the global section and in to several of the shares sections also, but the filenames always convert to lower cases. Any suggestions. Arnar ------------------- Arnar Gestsson Stefja Ltd. T. (+354) 5100605 arnar@stefja.is

If a filename contains all the same case (long or short filename), NT(SP3) shows it with the first letter capitalized only, which makes actually doing anything with this file very difficult. I have a hunch there is a registry setting which would effect this.

The only way we've found to get around this is to install Internet Explorer 4 with the desktop update (new interface). You can put the settings back so that the interface is pretty much the same as before, but the nice thing is that in the display options there is one that says "ALLOW FILENAMES AS ALL CAPITALS" and with that set you see the real filenames. It seems that someone at Microsoft decided that filenames in all capitals weren't pretty, and we've only just been given an option to get around their decision. Note that this corrects the graphics interface. The command line interface has always been correct. Nick Parker Berger-Levrault, France
What actual program are you using to do the copying?
