Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

this happens with the latest edgy version (2.15.2.0-ubuntu1).

to reproduce:
* create a new directory on a filesystem that is case sensitive (for example on your desktop)
* create three files, one named "hehe" and another named "HEHE" and a third named "zzz_another file"
* drag the folder to a fat32 partition, or to a ftp server window. 

=> if you look into the copied folder you will see that only the "hehe"
file is there.

(hehe)
 
i think in this case nautilus should display a warning dialog before it even starts to copy the files, and offer the option to skip or rename files that differ only by case

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
