Actually you can (sort of).

The USB drive is vfat, which is not sensitive to case, which means that "FILE.TXT" and "file.txt" should be the same file.

On my kindle with SSH, I created two files named file.txt and FILE.TXT. Both existed, and both were visible from windows, but good luck opening the second instance of what windows sees as the same filename.

Depending on what tool used, a windows disk repair tool would probably report that as an error.

I was able to delete this "file" from windows (twice).

This is actually a bug in the kindle. It should be smart enough to know that a vfat is not case sensitive.
