It's not that certain servers "do not accept capital letters" ... it's
that certain OS's are case-sensitive (*nix) and certain OS's are
case-insensitive (Windows). So if you upload MyPicture.gif to a *nix
server and request mypicture.gif, you will get a "Not Found" error. If
you upload MyPicture.gif to a Windows server and request mypicture.gif,
the server will happily serve it to you.

I believe Legacy has the option to convert everything to lowercase when
building web pages, so I'm not sure how much of an issue this really is.
But I think it is a good idea to omit uppercase letters anyway.

Just something to be aware of.
