What's a really quick way to change file extensions from uppercase to lowercase? For example, .JPG to .jpg I have loads of these photos that all need to be .jpg to coincide with the HTML source

ren *.JPG *.jpg

there's something you can't do in unix without a script

oh yes you can. I don't remember what flavor of linux has it, but I distinctly remember one (maybe RedHat) came with a command "rename" that you could call like this:

rename .JPG .jpg *.JPG

and it had some powerful options. It didn't come with Cygwin, so I can't tell you anything else.
