Files with identical names except for the letter case are not distinguished when editing

[Allan Th. Andersen]

How to reproduce:

Create two files with different content on your ftp server:
/path/to/file/file.php
/path/to/file/File.php

(Notice that the files have identical names except for the letter case.)

Right click file.php and choose edit. Your editor opens the file. So far so good.
Right click File.php and again choose edit.

A dialog opens saying: "File Changed. The file '/private/var/folders/zz/y5zdkqw11yv2btyvl9y6r3tr000gn/T/fz3temp-1/file.php' has been changed on the file system. Do you want to replace the editor contents with these changes?"

Expected behavior: The file "File.php" is opened in the editor.

If you look in the temp folder, a file with correct letter case is saved. But when FileZilla reads from the temp folder, it doesn't distinguish the files. This can lead to overwriting the contents of the other file.

So in the temporary directory on your local computer, you do see "file.php" and "File.php"?

Be aware of the fact that the filesystem of OS X can be configured to be either case sensitive or case insensitive.

When I open file.php, the temp folder correctly contains file.php. Then when I open File.php, file.php is overwritten by File.php. I don't se both files at the same time.

Okay, this problem definitly is related to the oddity of MacOS X's filesystem being case sensitive or case-insensitive depending on system configuration.

Well I don't know about that. I bought a macbook air and I haven't changed any filesystem configs.... I think that it is obvious that fz can't distinguish the files. BTW I'm pretty sure I had the same problem on Win Vista.
