given name "<somePath>/<someName>.ext" differs from name in filesystem "<somePath>/<someName>.Ext"

Hi Forum,

In a sync setup between a Ubuntu machine (source) and a MacOS 11.0 one (sink), I’m getting this error upon the first sync. This looks related to

"Given name 'Xyz' differs from name 'xyz' in file system" error

Hi forum, I get the above error on two folders of a one-way sync setup. It seems to related to the “case only rename” problem. However, I have already completely changed (temporarily) the folder name on the source PC, but it still doesn’t replicate that folder to the target PC. What else could I do?

but that one is supposed to be fixed already, and I’m getting the error above with 1.11.1. Could it be that the capitalization of the extension is still not handled properly?

I guess this is a sync error, i.e. from the “Failed Items” list in the web UI?

This means that on the mac the file “foo.ext” exists, and on linux both “foo.ext” and “foo.Ext” exist. On mac that’s not poissible, that’s why it complains. If that’s not the case, please explain exactly what files with that name (case-insensitively) exist, also checking parent directories.

Yes, it’s from the failed items list, and yes, you are correct, it turns out the Ubuntu side has both .ext and .Ext versions. It does explain why the MacOS side fails, I guess, but it would seem that the error message could be a little more on point.

Thanks for the help!
