1175508 2011-02-06 03:00:00 How can i get windows to support correctly case sensitivity for files, as i am working on a website (hosted on linux) that has filenames like this in the same directories (all different files)

bob.html
Bob.html
BOB.html

in linux all three can be opened

But well in windows it assumes they are all the same file

I found this (support.microsoft.com) on the windows Knowledgebase, but really it just muddied the waters of my grey matter

edit: I interpret that article as "It's broken in several different ways, depending on your OS version...."
It seems rather silly to enable support in the filesystem, but not the OS.

Noticeably absent is any mention of Win64, but I wouldn't be pinning my hopes on it.

Just use a linux client, maybe ?

Welcome to the limitations of Windows
The only thing to do is to rename them.
