This option specifies whether a file created by Samba on behalf of the client is created with the case provided by the client operating system, or the case specified by the
default
case configuration option above. The default value is
yes, which uses the case provided by the client operating system. If it is set to
no, the value of the
default
case option is used.
Note that this option does not handle 8.3 file requests sent from the client - see the
short
preserve
case option below. You may want to set this option to
yes if applications that create files on the Samba server are sensitive to the case used when creating the file. If you want to force Samba, for example, to mimic the behavior of a Windows NT filesystem, you can leave this option to its default,
yes.
