Want to create second page with same name but different capitaliza

I got into a bind where I created a page subsidiary page named justskirts.htm
and have promotion and links in using that name. Unfortunately have people
also promoting it as JustSkirts.htm While the easiest fix to create a second
duplicate page with the different capitalization; FrontPage 2003 will not let
me. When I try and create JustSkirts.htm I get a “File with the name
justskirts.htm already exists, do you want to replace it?†error. Since the
correct capitalization is needed, browers see them as two different pages,
but FrontPage does not. Any way out?

It is not the browse, it is the operating system that your site is hosted on, which is Unix/Linux
that allows for this, if you were hosted on a Windows IIS server, you would not be having this
issue.

Under Windows you can not have more than one file with the same name in the same folder. Your site
is hosted under Unix/Linux where you can have JustSkirts.htm and justskirts.htm, so you would have
to create this second file directly on the server via FP, however you will not be able to publish
the remote site back to your local machine as long as you have both files.

If you know the sites that link with the incorrect filename case, then it would be easier to contact
them and ask them to change the links.
