He wants to change the filename, not the contents :)

Try something like:

for f in *; do
    lower="`echo $f | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`"
    if [ "$f" != "$lower" ]; then
        mv -i "$f" "$lower"
    fi
done

The "mv -i" is in case you have a file called "README.txt" and another
one called "Readme.txt" in the same directory.

Please try it out on some test files before running it in production.
