It is a limitation of the Win32 API. I've been told the Windows POSIX API is limited to1024 characters instead of 255. If you can find an rsync executable against that API (or compile one yourself), it might work better. Perhaps the Cygwin suite already does that? I'm told the "native" or "NT" API has a limit of 64 Ki characters. > Is it Path or Filename+Path that determines that 255 number? The entire path name, from the drive letter to the last character in the file name, including all slashes, dots, and so on, and probably the terminating ASCII NUL character, too. > For one file I am looking at, the path only is 199, and filename+path is 243 > charactors. > Odd, since neither total 255... That is a bit weird. There may be some other length limit you are encountering. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
