Maximum files per directory

P

Phil Jackson

On Windows 2000 Server:

1) Is there a limit to the maximum number of files per
directory (or folder)?

2) Is there a maximum length for a filename + path?

I seem to remember that NT Server had limits of 256 files
and 256 characters per filename + path.

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Phil

1. Maximum file or folder system restriction per folder is
dependent on the file system used and not the Operating
system

FAT16- 512
FAT32- 65,534 files or folders per folder
NTFS- 4,294,967,295


2. path+filename=<259
