Hello,
I am trying to migrate PDFs with the FileCopy writer. I have destination path and file names with lengths from 260 - 300+. They fail, but if I change the path to be shorter they all succeed.
Am I mistaken in thinking that FileCopy limited to 256 as its max pathname character count? Is there a way around this? Has anyone else run into this issue?
Additional info:
FME(R) 2019.0.0.0 (20190328 - Build 19238 - WIN64)
Windows 10

Thank you for your advice,
Andy
Assuming it is only a Windows limitation, would you be able to create a share for the folder?
In that case you can use the share as the base folder, using UNC path names, like:
\\\\<server>\\<share>\\<file name>
Hope this helps as a work around.

Thank you! I ended up being able to map the first 76 characters to Network Drive X:/. This brought my longest pathname down to 232 characters, allowing me to write everything in their proper destination folders. Thanks again for everyone's input!
