Okay, let me also do some further test, on the Linux -> Linux side. As that is something we can deal with.

Eitherway, we need to come up with an approch for the Linux -> Windows example as well. As this could cause problems for news users, and more likly coorporate adoption on the server-side. As such, I'll bring this to the attention of ubuntu-server as well.

Thanks again for the report.

Thanks,

I agree with you with the fact that Windows doesn't care about case.

The problem is that sharing from Linux to Linux with SMB make some
troubles; I didn't try with Windows. A common user may encounter
difficulties with this. In fact the two files are distinguished while
navigating through the network, but the copies are not.

In my case I could experience the problem twice. I'm ready to make
further experiments if necessary to help.

The problem will remain if transferring from Linux to Windows since
Windows won't be able to create the two files. However, it would be
better if from Linux to Linux the case was handled.
