The “$” is need to differentiate “filename” from “Filename”. You can disable Unix mode by defining the logical MULTINET_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE to be “true.” You can do this in a user’s login command procedure to disable it for that one user or you can define the logical /SYSTEM to change the behavior for all users. You can also define the logical MULTINET_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE to accept Unix directory and file specifications but ignore the case of a file. [NOTE: replace MULTINET in the logical names with TCPWARE on TCPware systems.
