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
