There's nothing you need to configure for FTP on the 3000 side in order to
use mixed case filenames.

I've never personally used FrontPage, so I can't comment about its "publish"
feature.  I have however assisted somebody back at my old employer trying to
use FrontPage to create content for an Apache web server that didn't have
the FrontPage extensions installed, and it was a mess.  Apache on MPE
currently does NOT support the FrontPage extensions.  But this has nothing
to do with your FTP problem.

I tend to FTP using the MS command line FTP client.  The following is what I
would do to upload a mixed case filename:

open my3000.host.name
(enter userid & password)
cd /APACHE/PUB/htdocs/some/dir/name
quote type L 8  (tells MPE to create bytestream files)
put Home_nav.htm ./Home_nav.htm
quit

Note that the leading "./" in the remote filename is very important and
tells MPE that you're using mixed-case HFS syntax instead of uppercase MPE
FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT syntax.

I would have expected you to have an UPPER case filename problem, not a
lower case one.  So I'm still not certain about the cause of your problem.
Perhaps this is some "feature" of FrontPage....
