Niklas, Thanks for getting back to me. This will actually be running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux although if moving it onto Windows will solve the problem we would consider it. Is there anyway to compensate for the Linux file system being case sensitive?

Of course, it will be crucial that the underlaying file system doesn't differentiate between files based on the casing. So, this change wouldn't work all that great on Unix/Linux file systems, but it should work just fine on Windows. We currently have no unit tests for the file system code so I'm a bit reluctant to make the change before I've fixed that. Give me a day or two and I might have something working. Will you be running the FTP server on the mainframe? /niklas
