bug report for 2 files with the same name (up to the case)

2012-02-10 04:06

Under my Linux directory,
I have 2 files : article.ps and Article.ps (not the same)
(they have the same time of modification, but not the same size)

Under my windows directory,
I have just 1 file : article.ps

when I try to synchronize these two directories (in any mode : both, local, remote)

nothing happens, winscp is just ignoring the file Article.ps, while it should copy (or delete) it ! ;-)

Best regards

I should add a related bug.

In my Linux directory, I have file toto.ps and Toto.ps
(not same size, not same dates)

In my windows, I have only the file toto.ps

When I synchronize, it will suggest to copy Toto.ps (I accept this suggestion).

However, if I checked the synchronization again, it didnt copy Toto.ps
(I guess it copied toto.ps).

Best regards

PS: In the faq/help, I found this :
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_transfer_custom#filename_modification
but it doesnt seem to solve these 2 bugs.
