When you try to transfer a file to a destination with a file of the same name, use Smart Overwrite to determine the proper action to take. Smart overwrite settings apply to both uploads and downloads. Some servers are case sensitive. Such servers will not recognize files names as identical if the letter case of the two file names does not match.
From the menu, choose Tools > Options.
Select Smart Overwrite.
