+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #442710 +++ Description of problem: ftp can overwrite files with the wrong content or fail to get/put files when mixed-case filenames are involved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ftp-0.17-23.EL4 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to a linux box and install/start up vsftpd. 2. Create the following files in /var/ftp/pub * Test1.out1 * TEST2.OUT2 * tesT3.Out3 3. Connect to ftp server ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (9,67,58,187,198,5) 150 Here comes the directory listing. -rw-rw-r-- 1 503 503 11 Apr 11 15:33 TEST2.OUT2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 503 503 11 Apr 11 15:32 Test1.out1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 503 503 11 Apr 11 15:33 tesT3.Out3 226 Directory send OK. ftp> bin 200 Switching to Binary mode. ftp> prompt Interactive mode off. ftp> case Case mapping on. ftp> mget * local: test2.out2 remote: TEST2.OUT2 227 Entering Passive Mode (9,67,58,187,161,53) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for TEST2.OUT2 (11 bytes). 226 File send OK. 11 bytes received in 0.0086 seconds (1.3 Kbytes/s) local: test2.out2 remote: Test1.out1 227 Entering Passive Mode (9,67,58,187,23,178) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Test1.out1 (11 bytes). 226 File send OK. 11 bytes received in 0.0037 seconds (2.9 Kbytes/s) local: test2.out2 remote: tesT3.Out3 227 Entering Passive Mode (9,67,58,187,72,19) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for tesT3.Out3 (11 bytes). 226 File send OK. 11 bytes received in 0.006 seconds (1.8 Kbytes/s) Actual results: local filename for the second 2nd and 3rd files transfered is the same as the first. The end result is a single file in the local directory called test2.out2 with the contents of tesT3.Out3 Expected results: 3 files transfered with their original contents. Only the file with all uppercase in the name is translated to lowercase (according to the ftp manpage at least.)

Since the bug was fixed in z-stream, this bug report will be leaved in the MODIFIED state until another ftp y-stream errata will be released.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: When the "case" command was used to turn on the remote computer file name case mapping, using the "mget" command to download remote files may have caused the ftp client to overwrite the files on the client machine with the wrong content, or fail when mixed-case file names were used. For example, downloading multiple files may have resulted in a single file, that contained the content of a different file. This has been fixed, and all files are now transferred with their original content as expected.
