Case in file names
I have always heard that in unix case matters, that File_001 is different from file_001.
That being so, why does the following command: mv last.week.tonight.mkv Last.Week.Tonight.mkv result in last.week.tonight.mkv -no change. This has happened before where trying to change a lower case file name to upper case results in no change. What am I not understanding? |

Could be a permissions problem(?), do you own the file?

It's not a permission problem since I can rename last.week.tonight.mkv to Last.mkv and the rename that to Last.Week.Tonight.mkv.

The shell is /bin/ksh
I don't know enough to know what this means or why, but: If the file in question is on a USB flash drive, permissions root:wheel 0644 the mv operation fails. If I copy the file to my HD permissions now root:stan 0644 the mv operation suceeds. So, on the flash drive mv saturday.night.live.mkv Saturday.Night.Live.mkv has no effect. cp /usb/saturday.night.live ~/ cd ~/ mv saturday.night.live.mkv Saturday.Night.Live.mkv works. I appreciate people commenting on this. It's just something I'm curious about. |
