Thank you jlevie. The script is good for me. i will use it to rename upper name files on my unix computers.

If you use WS-FTP to transfer the files, you can configure how filenames are transfered.

I have a wonderful and extremely simple answer for you. I wrote an incredibly simple .bat file, that does all the thing. Download it at:

Read the simplest reame file, and you get it.
What it does is converts all the filenames and/or extensions (it's 2 .bat files) to lower case. Filename is limited to 14 letters, extension - to 5, but if you edit the .bat file, you can make it longer. G-Luck
