Hi folks
I find filezilla brilliant for transferring files whether between Linux -> linux, Windows -> Linux and Windows-> Windows (and reverse). so much better than file explorer also long file names visible too -- although after xfer file explorer STILL shows these as xxxxxxxx.yyy (8.3 format). When will any of the standard windows explorer file GUI's stop using the old limited API and provide proper support for long path / file names -- (>266 chars) especially now large HDD's of 14TB and more. The capability has been in Windows for ages now,
Cheers
