Publishing to Memory Stick

I have published to a memory stick so I can transfer my web to another
computer. The first computer is Windows 2000 and the second computer is
Windows 98SE.

When I open the web on the second computer after plugging in the memory
stick, the first character of folders is capitalized. This causes that
entire folder to be republished when I need to publish. With the original
computer, the first character of folders is lower case and therefore no
problem.

This may not be a FrontPage problem, but certainly FrontPage users are
affected. I notice on the second computer, when using Windows Explorer that
the same change is
made--what were folder names starting with small characters are changed to
capital characters. Is there a setting in Windows that takes care of this
problem?

Thanks for any advice.

You probably went from NTFS to FAT32.
8.3 filenames change case.
Longname shouldn't.
There is no setting in windows that will solve this problem that I have ever
found.

Try this:

Publish to Disk-based web on local machine. Copy (with Windows Explorer,
not FrontPage) the files onto the stick.

On the other machine, reverse the process. Publish the disk based web to a
server (if necessary) at the other end.
 
I have found a solution. First I publish to the memory stick from the
Windows 2000 machine. Then I zip the web on the memory stick with the zipped
files on the memory stick. This permits me to carry the zipped file to the
second computer. I plug in the memory stick to the Windows 98SE machine and
unzip to the second computer. When I open up FrontPage the format of the
folders is what it should be. When I publish to my webhost, all is in order.

It is interesting that if I unzip while on the Windows 2000 computer, the
files names are okay to that computer, but when I move the memory stick to
the Windows 98SE, the folder names start with capital letters and I am in
trouble. When I unzip connected to the Windows 98SE, it works.

Thanks for the advice, gang.
