Source file names are larger than supported file system

Source file names are larger than is supported by the file system

Many users are being affected by this issue when trying to copy a file/folder and are getting this error message “The source file names are larger than is supported by the file system“.

 

Solution: Use robocopy.exe

Syntax:  robocopy /MIR c:\*empty* c:\*targetedfolder*

 

My syntax that works best is as follows.

robocopy.exe <Source> <Destination> /dcopy:T /E
