FILNAMES UPPER TO LOWER

This script can be used to renames all the file in current directory with UPPERCASE letters to lowercase.

I uses it because some time when I try to upload some files from a Windows system to a unix based web server, the files somehow gets converted to UPPERCASES, which is undesirable.

###########################

for uppercase in `ls`
do
for lowercase in `ls $uppercase|tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
do
mv $lowercase $uppercase 2>/dev/null
done
done
