Hi Jeremy, Windows NT, 2K and XP have a limitation of 256 characters on the path length, so if you are trying to copy something with a path greater, it can fail.
Also, try copying using robocopy or totalcopy as sometimes this gets around it. http://www.ranvik.net/totalcopy/ Regards, Trevor Lee -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Lieb Sent: Friday, 22 September 2006 4:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] Windows File Sharing issue over VPN Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Has anyone encountered the following errors when trying to do windows file transfers over VPN between site to site links? The first is "The path is too deep." The second is the specified network name is no longer available. There is no consistancy to which tunnels seem to be having the issues. All of our firewalls are running RHEL 3.0 with NGX R60 HFA2 and a few on HFA3. We do have Smart Defense subscription but all of the File and Print sharing protections are currently in Monitor only mode. I'm seeing no sign of any drops or rejects in the firewall logs in regards to these attempted file transfers. Does the above seem to be a firewall issue or more of a Windows OS issue itself? The transfers have been tried between various Windows OS's including 2003 server SP1 to XP SP2 etc. I've done some scp's via Linux between the sites with no issues. If anyone has experienced these issues any info would be great. I did try lowering the mtu on one of the workstations and adding the pmtudiscovery registry key but it still fails. The file transfers sizes have been between 1 and 6MB but there has been no real rhyme or reason to which sites fail between which sites.
