          If you've mounted the remote SMB/CIFS filesystem you can use the nocase mount option. For example, in your /etc/fstab, do:



          \192.168.1.247sharename /mnt/location cifs auto,credentials=/root/credentials_file,vers=2.0,nocase 0 0


          Note the nocase option at the end.



          Look what happens if you use the nocase option:



          /mnt/location» ls -la
          drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache 0 Apr 4 2018 __skel
          /mnt/location» cd __SKEL # note uppercase, while the dir itself is lowercase
          /mnt/location/__SKEL» # hey that worked


          You may check the man page for more mount options: https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.cifs
