trying to copy files/folders from one server to another. using filesystemobject and copyfolder method. working great until a really really long file name was encountered. then i got "path not found"
the file was just a word doc, but had been saved with the default that word gives ... the first sentence  ... so the full path was something like c:\folder1\folder2\folder3\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent\this is the really really really really really really really really really long sentence that the darn microsoft word program decided to use for the name of the file and well you get the picture.doc
so, copyfolder puked and didn't copy any of the rest of folder1. anyone know of a work around for this? |

you could always parse the filename and us the blah~1.doc notation to open it.
it may have actually barfed because of the spaces not because the name was to long, I know that the fso can have problems uploading filenames with spaces. |

| hmm ... yeah, it may have been the spaces. if i parse the filename, i can't just use copyfolder... i'd have to recurse through each folder, subfolder, etc. i might end up doing that. i might just use an good ole batch file using xcopy to do it. |

| okay, here's another question. why does the archive attribute get set on files that are copied? and folders have the read only set except its grey like it's a partial read only. i suppose it doesn't really matter, just curious. |

| turns out i'm having problems because the file acls are all messed up. when i try to do a copy of the folder (by parsing all the files and copying each file separately), when i encounter a file with the messed up acls, i get a permission denied error and then no more files are copied, even using on error resume next. grr... anyone have any ideas how i can simulate the /C switch with xcopy to continue when errors are encountered? |

| using on error resume should work, what does your block of code look like |

set fFiles = fldr.Files
if err.number <> 0 then
fBUlog.WriteLine "...... error retrieving files in folder " & fPath
else
for each f in fFiles
f.Copy fTo & "\" & f.Name
if err.number <> 0 then fBUlog.WriteLine "...... error copying file " & fPath & "\" & f.Name
err.clear
next
end if
set fFiles = nothing
err.clear
when getting to the file with problems, the red line above is not written to the file (maybe because of trying to read the name?) but it still should complete the for loop and it doesn't seem to be doing that. |

my guess is it is erroring before the f.copy and therefore not doing the loop, try adding some logging to find out, like below
if err.number <> 0 then
fBUlog.WriteLine "...... error retrieving files in folder " & fPath
else
for each f in fFiles
f.Copy fTo & "\" & f.Name
if err.number <> 0 then fBUlog.WriteLine "...... error copying file " & fPath & "\" & f.Name
err.clear
next
if err.number <> 0 then fBUlog.Writeline "...Unknown err : " & err.number"
end if
set fFiles = nothing

| okay, i will try that when I encounter this again (I reset the permissions on the problem folder so I can't use that to test anymore). The thing is though, it copied one file successfully, then when it tried to copy the second, that's when the error occurred. then no more copying, even though there were other files with correct permissions. weird. |
