When attempting to transfer files from a laptop to a desktop (both running
XP, laptop belongs to a domain and desktop belongs to a workgroup), I get
connected and I can see files on the remote computer. But when I attempt to
transfer files, I get the following message "This destination does not
support long filenames".
Both systems are NTFS.
