I thought the limit was 63 characters on Mac 32 bit up until and including v16.x: http://livedoc.4d.com/4D-Internet-Commandsv16/help/Title/en/page397.html { The FTP commands of 4D Internet Commands work with files whose names have a limited length. The following table provides the maximum number of characters based on the OS: WindowsOS X 32 bits25563 64 bits2551024 } However, starting with v16R2 this has been increased to 1024 on both platforms: http://livedoc.4d.com/4D-Internet-Commandsv16-R2/help/Title/en/page397.html { The FTP commands of 4D Internet Commands work with files whose names have a limited length. In 4D Internet Commands v16 R2 and higher, the maximum number of characters is 1024 whatever the OS. } Maybe the limit includes the path and not just the filename? This is 85 chars: Macintosh HD:Users:patbensky:Desktop:53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg This is 54 chars: Macintosh HD:Users:patbensky:Desktop:3cac519f-0bff.jpg This is 48 chars: 53ee6f6f-3c81-41ae-b001-a5a000baebbc_350x271.jpg This is 17 chars: 3cac519f-0bff.jpg Can you try v16R2 to see if the increased limit of 1024 helps? -Tim ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
