(Get the code!)
It's doubly confusing. When you have foo.txt and FOO.txt, it's not just that the one is missing. It's also confusing because one day only foo.txt will show up in the file list, and a few days later only FOO.txt will show up. It seems to be quite random.
FYI, I wrote a utility that writes out a weekly report of new files added on our 16TB (and growing) share. With such a large share, it's impossible just to browse around to find new files. With this case sensitivity issue I keep picking up "new files", e.g. FOO.txt because in the previous week only foo.txt was in the file list.
