Ftp

this might be a stupid question
i am working with files created by another team member that have long file names

usually ranging from 8-20 by 3
like for instances a file is called

plymouth2003_01_01.xxx (not sure what extension)

is there a way to FTP long file names, or should i just rename these long files to an 8 by 3 (PL030101.xxx) ?

any suggestions please :)
thanks so much in advance

That is up to the Operating System the FTP server iw running on. Some operating systems may not like the long file names, so it is shortened.

so i guess running on Win 98 or Win NT
i will be renaming these files to an 8 by 3
so i can FTP correctly


:) thanks

98/NT do support long file names.
