If you use Korn Shell there is a nice builtin you can use to do this.
 You won't require any outside commands like tr.

typeset -u FILE #Translate the contents of the variable FILE to upper case.
cd /where/the/files/are
for file in *
do
    if [[ -f $file ]]; then
        FILE=$file
        mv $file $FILE
    fi
done
