Re: msdos long filename case change when no short entry

Stephen,
	I read your email twice and I'm still not exactly sure what the problem is.
	is it just the filenames messing up your includes?
	
	I am really curious to know why you are using floppynet (or sneakernet whatever you wanna call it) to copy files between your machines.
	are they networked together? 

	if they are here is a much less painless way of moving files between the two machines that
	won't mangle the filenames.

	open up /etc/inetd.conf in your favorite editor
	go to the entry for ftp
	remove the comment (#) so that the line looks like
	ftp 	stream 	nowait 	root  	/usr/libexec/ftpd 	ftpd -US
	save the file

	now open /etc/ftpchroot
	add your user name to the file
	
	now restart the inetd service
	do the following steps
	
	ps aux | grep inetd  

	this command will show you inetd's PID (process id number)
	restart the servcie by typing

	kill -HUP inetdPID		
	or
	kill -1 inetdPID

	they both do the same thing 
		
	An even neater method of moving files between Unix and Windows is a service called samba
	It allows you to do windows file sharing with your windows machines.
	if you want to learn more about it go to www.samba.org

	One last way. Here is a more secure way of transfering files

	get a windows ssh client. make sure that it has scp functionality.
	you can get a list of windows ssh clients here : 

	http://www.freessh.org/index.html

	I use the putty package for my ssh and scp replacement
	
	once you have putty installed 
	open a command prompt on your win2k box

	and type something like the following 

	pscp <pathtofile> <username>@<hostname>:<pathtotargetdir>

	
	none of these methods should alter your filenames
	

	Hope it helps
