We have a rad upload control for browsing and uploading files from the client. It so happened that the file resided in the client deep inside several layers of folder. The file name was also long. We found that the if the name of the selection is of length more than 255 characters then the file is not uploaded and nothing is selected in the control after browsing the file. Is there any way to bypass this and allow file selections of unlimited name/path length? I am using IE 6

Hello Nilanjan,

Unfortunately there is no resolution to this issue. The same thing would happen with the standart input file as well. For example in newer version of Windows ( Vista) you are even not allowed to save a file, if the filename + the path exceeds 258 symbols.
