New fact about "path is too deep"
I've been attempting to copy files to a directory on the network,
using Windows Explorer from Windows XP Professional, and have been having problems. I kept getting either the "the path is too deep" error, or the "the network name is no longer available" error. The file whose copying was claimed to have failed due to the error always had actually been copied. As a workaround, I tried mapping the network destination to a drive letter, and using XCOPY from the command window. I still ended up with an error, but that error was: "File creation error - The semaphore timeout period has expired." It is possible that this is a better error message, and identifies the actual underlying issue. John Savard |
