Copy-Bug?

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Copy-Bug?

Post by *Schultheis »

TC 7.50 RC 2: Following situation:
2 network drives, which reside on Unix machines. Therefore the file names are case sensitive. Now I want to copy a file from one drive to the other drive. In the target directory there is a file who's name is only different in the case of one character. TC asks to override the existing file. For example: dqsMail is copied as dqsmail. I didn't expect this behavior. Is it intended or have I overseen a configuration?

Regards,
Burkhard

Windows isn't capable of handling this situation in the Windows subsystem (only in the POSIX subsystem), especially the disk cache. So for example when you have two files with same name and different case, and then view the first and then try to view the second, you may see the same data.

You should configure your Samba server to ignore case too.
