The
default
case option is used with
preserve
case. This specifies the default case (upper or lower) that Samba will use when it creates a file on one of its shares on behalf of a client. The default case is
lower, which means that newly created files will use the mixed-case names given to them by the client. If you need to, you can override this global option by specifying the following:
[global]
default case = upper
If you specify this value, the names of newly created files will be translated into uppercase, and cannot be overridden in a program. We recommend that you use the default value unless you are dealing with a Windows for Workgroups or other 8.3 client, in which case it should be
upper.
