I'm using Workstation 12.5.9 build-7535481, running on Windows 2012 x64 R2 standard server. This is hosting a W10 VM, with the latest VMWare tools installed. The VM connects to the host file system using the 'Share Folders' capability. But it fails copying files using any software (explorer, goodsync, total commander...) when the file names exceed ~255 ch. It probably reaches the 260 characters limit. On the other hand, if it uses a network connection (UNC \\<ip addr>\share) then the files copy well. Is this a limitation of the VMWare tools? Is there a fix for this?
