no dif caps in windows???

[JeremysFilms]

I have a file called a.gif I tried to create a file called A.gif (different caps in the file name) but it won't let me because it states that a.gif already exists, how can I have two files of the same name but different caps? I'm sure you can do this on linux since my host allows me to use different caps but same file.

I assume you cant do what you are trying to do because windows wont let you, I dont think there would be anyway around such a thing

Windows is *obviously* much more strict than Linux/Unix is so they won't allow such a thing.

Jeremy, I'm surprised at you :) !!!

WIndows filesystem is NOT case sensitive. Cases are ignored. Linux is case sensitive. Cases are not ignored.

Answer to your question: You can't. a.gif and A.gif would be the same file.

Simply put, Windows doesn't differentiate between caps where as *nix does, so as you've already discovered, it's possible to have both A.gif and a.gif in the same directory on *nix, but not on Windows.
