Problems with long filenames during synchronizing - System Error 3

Hello,

I try to synchronize from a unc path to my remote internet via FTP. Works fine but has a problem with files with more then 256 characters.

Sounds like Bug 1337 or? Wonder a little that bug priority is only medium.

Yes, WinSCP indeed does not support long path with the FTP protocol.

Still not supported?

Hello martin,
Is it still not supported?
Because I just had a 'long-path' problem with FTP protocol (downloading to local). I only added \\?\ in front of the local path, and it worked!
