linkstation LS-WX1.0TL/R1, firmware 1.56.
This is used to backup data from a Windows Server. Every Windows workstation has their "My Documents" folder set to use a folder on the server. When downloading files (either from the internet or attachments on email) the files end up in a folder called Downloads under My Documents. When downloading a file with the same name as what's already in Downloads, Windows changes the name to include parentheses and a number showing how many files of that name are there. For instance the first one might be named downloaded_file.doc, the second one would be _downloaded_file(2).doc, the third would be downloaded_file(3).doc, etc. Eventually they get named like this: downloaded_file(5)(1)(1)(1)(1)...............[way too many characters]..................doc.
These end up being backed up to the Linkstation, but as files in the backup folder are overwritten, the overwritten files end up in the trasbox folder on the Linkstation. I can't delete the files with the longest names from trashbox. I get an error message saying... "The file names(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path."
