Disk Format & Long Pathnames?

[RBc3241]

I've read that FreeFileSync can handle long pathnames. But isn't this dependent on the format type of the Source and/or the Destination drives?
I.e. isn't a USB formatted to Fat32 is going to be more path length restricted than a NTFS format, correct ?

Yes, but what does that have to do with FFS?

Well excuse if the question seems redundant but was just wanted input on what FFS does or does not do in these scenarios. I suspect that I should never uses FFS with a source drive format having longer pathnames than the destination. FFS can possibly write the long pathnames to the Fat32 drive but they could not be readable by a normal file manager. I.e. FFS can do the long pathnames but I've got to be aware if I writing something that later can't be read.

FFS respects to OS limitation, throws errors if any are encountered. It uses the Windows API so it should behave as if you did things manually

Thank you much for the explanation. That would seem the most functional premise and pleased to hear that's how FFS handles it. I don't see any ability for Kudo points, likes etc on this forum. But I much appreciate your input.
