You created the directory. Bad. Makes things not work as expected :-)
Do the following:
rm -r ABC
ln -s abc ABC
Do this in the path that contains the "abc" directory.
If this is a directory inside of your web server. Just turn on the spelling
check module for Apache. That module not only gets you close for bad
typing, it also ignores case. So it can be entered as "abc", "AbC", etc.
