Files with more than 259 characters

[HGB]

Hello,

I have some files more than 259 characters.

I use the last version of ViceVersa but have a problem with, where to place \\?\ in the path?

This is an example of a path between my two servers:

Source: \\MAXI-TABULARIUM\SOURCE\

Target: \\TABULARIUM\TARGET\


I try to place it in the beginning like this:
\\?\\\MAXI-TABULARIUM\SOURCE\

or like this
\\?\MAXI-TABULARIUM\SOURCE\


But I just get this message: The File name, directory or path is not found

Please if you could help me with this problem.


Best regards
H. G. Budtz


From ViceVersa homepage:

To enable this in a specific folder use the prefix "\\?\".
For example, to allow paths longer than 259 characters in c:\folder\backup\ use \\?\c:\folder\backup\ as source (or target, or archive folder) in ViceVersa PRO.
Using "\\?\" permits a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to 255 characters in length.

Hello, for network paths, you will need to use \\?\unc\ instead of just \\?\
So \\MAXI-TABULARIUM\SOURCE\ becomes \\?\unc\MAXI-TABULARIUM\SOURCE\
