[TriLUG] ext3 to vfat copy issue...

[dsandif]

I am having issues with copying files from a linux ext3 format to a vfat 
or fat32 external hard drive.The original files to be copied are in up 
case, ie, R3456, Panama, GUTAMALA. But when I copy  the files to the 
external vfat\fat32 drive, the file names get changed to lower case 
every time so I end up with r3456, panama, Guatemala. I have certain 
scripts and programs that depend upon the case sensitivity of these 
files and won't work if they are adjusted like this. The intent was to 
be able to use the external to view and access files on both linux and 
windows OS. The command I give to copy is as follows:

/bin/cp -R source(in this case GUTAMALA) /mnt/flash


Thxs.
