Re[5]: [zsync] Long Filenames

Dear Ken,

KH> Hi Sergey,

KH> The full file name is 123 characters. However the path is also at
KH> least as long. So if the file name includes the path then "you have
KH> hit the nail on the head" with the suggestion the NTFS is the
KH> problem.

When a file stored into the disk, it always have a path :) So, your
123-characters named file can't be copied into the destination folder using
any software: ZSync, Windows Explorer, etc. - it's impossible.

KH> I have shortened the offending name and now it syncs fine.
KH> Below is the log entry:

KH> Unable to copy <\\505n\Pavilion505\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
KH> Documents\Documents, etc\Photos\Railroad Photos\Freight Cars\Gary R.
KH> Zuters\CSXT PRR BNSF\TTGX, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, 86'
KH> Covered Double Deck Auto Car, 160351, April 29th, 1999, Toronto,
Ontario.jpg>> to <TTGX, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, 86'
KH> Covered Double Deck Auto Car, 160351, April 29th, 1999,
KH> Toronto, Ontario.jpg> The filename or extension is too long.

To calculate a full name length it's need add the destination folder path
length (local path exactly, started with a drive letter, e.g. 'C:\...') and
the file name length. The log is not contains the destination path and I
can't calculate the full length, but I'm sured it more than 260.

I think, ZSync is rehabilitated? :)

KH> Best Regards,
KH> Ken Harstine


Sincerely,
Sergey Zyryanov,
