HTML Rename!®

Drive Out the Cross-Platform Gremlins that Can Break Your Site

Do you develop your web site on a Macintosh or PC? If so, your site may contain invisible, cross-platform gremlins waiting to cause problems when you:

      Upload your web site to a UNIX/Linux server (links that were OK are now broken)
      Copy or archive your web site to a CD-ROM (links are broken and filenames are shortened)
      Move your web site to a new URL (some of the links still point to the old URL)

You Don't Need to Be a Cross-Platform Expert

These problems are caused by a variety of Operating System incompatibilities between Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and CD-based file systems. If you know about these issues at the beginning of a project you might set some guidelines, such as always naming files in a lowercase, eight-dot-three convention. But if you didn't, or if you inherited a site from someone else, you may have a big, time-consuming task on your hands...unless you use HTML Rename!

Don't Fix It File-By-File — Delegate the Work

Tell HTML Rename! about the target system to which you are moving (CD-ROM, UNIX, etc.) and HTML Rename! will fix all of these cross-platform migration issues in one batch process. It fixes case sensitivity problems, removes invalid characters from file names and URLs, and converts filename extensions (e.g., *.jpeg -> *.jpg).

Screen Shot: Choose target file system and upper or lower case

Select your target file system and preferred case, and HTML Rename! will do the rest!

In addition to fixing these cross-platform problems, HTML Rename! can report broken links, convert absolute links to relative links, and remove unlinked "orphan" files from your site.
