When trying to copy files between two XP Pro systems I receive the following error message:
"Cannot copy <filename>; The path is too deep."
The directory names and structures on both machines are identical. The directory path is 33 characters (on both machines), and the source and destination directories are both six levels deep from the root.
I can copy from the source machine to a four level deep directory on the destination machine. The interesting fact is that this was not happening until I applied some of the most recent Windows updates. I have been backing these directories (and others) for for years using Win2K, and WinXP.
Is anyone aware of changes caused by any WinXP security or functionality updates or upgrades?
Thanks
