FP98: Importing Files from a Unix Server Will Not Import All Files (238139)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q238139

For a Microsoft FrontPage 2000 version of this article, see 200804.
For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 version of this article, see 238138.

SYMPTOMS

If you import files with the same name but with different case from a Unix server into a Windows-based server, hyperlinks to at least one of the files will break.

CAUSE

Unix operating systems are case sensitive. For example, files called "mypage.htm" and "Mypage.htm" are recognized as different files on the Unix operating system. Because Windows-based operating systems are not case sensitive, these two files are recognized as being the same file.

RESOLUTION

Save the file with lowercase letters from a Web browser. Change the name of the file, and then import it into FrontPage.
