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.
