I'm not aware of any lftp command / setting that would allow that, however :

- quick & dirty : use a fat32 partition. No permissions, no journal, but
no case as well ;-)
- post-transfer : find /my/dir | xargs rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'
Beware, if you have "pwet" and "Pwet", rename will not rename "Pwet" as
"pwet" already exists. You'd need a slightly more elaborate script to
check for date etc and decide what to do.

Anyway, this could indeed be useful when dealing with win32 FTP servers.

Cheers,
