My Windows 2008 R2 system has no problem preserving case via ftp
without the verbose request?  What exactly are you doing different. We
use an rx2620 system with OpenVMS 8.3-1h1 as an FTP server for our CAD
drawings.  I can ftp in from Windows 7, Windows 2008R2, Windows XP and
with FileZilla and retrieve the files in the case in which I ask for
them.  Maybe because it is an ODS-5 layout on my system?  Not sure...
If I request the file in the wrong case I will get the file in the
wrong case.  Using TCPIP services from HP.
