Force lowercase?

Didn't there used to be an option to force filenames to all lowercase when uploading to a server? I just downloaded the latest FreeFTP and I cannot find that setting. I have way too many legacy files with all-caps filenames...

Any help/comments would be appreciated!

What if you convert all the file names to lower case but the html code is still upper case?
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Is this a ponderable?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The html references are lowercase on both the server and the source drive.

I previously used a version of FTP that had an option of forcing all filenames to lowercase on upload to the server. I swear I did not dream this up ;-)

I haven't touched my personal website in 2 years; since then I have a new laptop and new installations of all my software. Ugh! This is just one of my little nagging problems...

Interesting, I just looked around the preferences and I don't see it there either, and it was there at least 2 versions ago if not on the last one. Where did that go I wonder?

That would be a great thing to be able to do. Even better to do a mass convert to lowercase prior to uploading. ;)
I should have something clever to say... but I don't.
