What's the maximum length currently?

I'm assuming the .net DLL package has the same limitation?


Does the limitation only effect local paths or do I have to be concerned with the destination which is possibly longer? Since you have hostname/public_html/resources which makes the destination path longer than the source.

Re: Could not retrieve file information on alot uploads

WinSCP does not support long local paths with FTP protocol:

We are hoping to fix this in a near feature.

Could not retrieve file information on alot uploads

***UPDATE***
Attached Debug Log File, however doesn't have much more information I'm afraid

WinSCP Version: 5.9.6 Portable GUI


Source Server: Windows 2008 R2 X64
Destination Server: Linux FTP/Web Server


Errors:
"Could not retrieve file information"
and
"The system cannot find the path specified"


Description:
I'm trying to upload a large amount of local data to the resources folder on an FTP server (99% PDF's).
The resources folder is empty to start with so the application doesn't have to worry about analyzing what's already there, comparing, overwriting etc....
Anyway I saw a fair number of the errors shown above so I hit Skip all to get as much as I can up there for now.

In the case of: "The system cannot find the path specified"
I pasted the exact path from the log for two entries with this error into windows explorer and the file opened no problem.
I also tried manually verifying the path for one of the files and copied it with another FTP program and it worked fine.

However I want to use WinSCP since I am developing a PowerShell script to automate this and transfer any updates daily.

As far as: "Could not retrieve file information"
I don't have a clue...
I know the path's are pretty long

Standard, Debug_1 and Debug_2 Logs attached but here are two examples.
