Frontpage local web has changed after re-installation

[Sarah]

We have had problems with viruses after changing from Norton AntiVirus 2002
to 2004. Our supplier has done a complete reinstall of the information on
the PC.

The reloaded copy of our website that is on the PC has changed. Many of the
folder and file names which were previously in lower case are now in UPPER
case - for example 'accommodation/index.htm and logo.gif' appear in the
folder list as ACCOMMODATION/INDEX.HTM and LOGO.GIF'

I changed a lot by right clicking and renaming - but it is a lot of files!

I then opened our web in Frontpage and published it to my local web. This
still left a lot of files listed in upper case including some that I had
changed.

Will this cause a problem if I publish the local web to the server?
How do I get rid of the upper case?

We are using Frontpage 2000 and the machine is Windows 98SE. It is also
reacting slower and erratically since the reinstall so Norton has a lot to
answer for

If you publish to a Unix server, case is very important. Windows servers
are case insensitive.

Download and install case changer from www.jimcoaddins.com
This will go through the web changing all upper case folder and file names
to lower case, amending the links in pages at the same time.

Thanks for that Ron - it works very well - as have all Jimco add-ins that we
have tried. It does, however, take a long time to go through (we have a 160+
page site) but a lot easier than rename as I started!!!

I notice that it didn't change the case on the .class files - will this be a
problem?

Many thanks


Sarah

Possibly. Use the broken hyperlinks report to check them, though this may
also not detect those files.

..class files implies you are using Java applets. These may present a
problem in themselves, since many users will not have a Java Virtual Machine
installed needed to run Java applets. Windows XP and IE6 users will be the
most affected.
