Hi Shachar,
I was recently encrypting my Visual Studio files and I ran into an
interesting issue. Rsyncrypto was giving me the following error message:
====== BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ====
file open failed(BackupFiles\D\Jan Alphenaar\Mijn documenten\Backup
1234567\Visu

9.rs
yncrypto_tmp): No such file or directory
======= END ERROR MESSAGE =====
My best guess is that the length of the destination file is exceeding the
256 characters. The absolute path for the destination file is, coming
remarkable close to 256 characters.

I imagine it is not so easy to set the maximum file length if an application
supports multiple operating systems (and thus multiple file systems). But
would it be possible to generate an error message like "<file name> filename
length to long", or something similar ? If the filename is too long for the
filesystem ?
Check out the limits for each filesystem on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
As you probably know I am testing on WinXP, and my file system is NTFS.
Regards,
Jan
