Assuming you want to rename the directories as well as the files:

find /path/to/folder -print | while read x ; do
     mv $x $(echo $x | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
done

... should do the trick.  If you don't want to rename the directories,
things are a little trickier; you'll have to pass the filename part
to tr, not the directory part:

find /path/to/folder -type f -print | while read x ; do
     mv $x $(dirname $x)/$(basename $x | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
done
