Regarding destination path exceeds in File Transfer Manager.

Question

Some customers encountered "destination path exeeds" when trying to download some products with long name. In this case, the file always suspended. We are wondering if there is a solution now.

Answer 1

Same problem here...

Attempting to download OS images, keep getting destination timeouts.  This is causing me some serious problems on a current project, I need the OS images to do setup/deployment testing before Friday.

Thanks.

Answer 2

I believe the 'destination path exceeds' is an error regarding the length of the full destination path.    Have the customer make a folder closer to the root of their hard drive (example "d:\downloads") and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks,
Mike

Why not fix FTM to not have this error?
