Hi guys,

I have to move a large volume of folders from one server to another, the problem is windows allows files with long folder/filenames to be created but not moved. I need to move these files and maintain the original filenames and folder structure exactly as they were created for litigation purposes. I need a solution that is not to rename thousands and thousands of files. Can anyone recommend good third party software for this that you have used before successfully?

Thanks

P.S. Please no comments about using better naming conventions, these are not our file structures and renaming or changing file structures is not an option.

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
