Is there any length-limits of file path in NTFS?

Question

Why can not I create a deep path whose characters in path is more than 255 in NTFS File System? It seems a limits of FAT32, but also exist in NTFS? Can anyone provide some docum

Answer 1

Doc. You should certainly be able to create longer filepaths than 255 bytes, as long as each individual path component is under that. However you must be using the Unicode (W) versions of the file access calls to get this behaviour; if you're using the ANSI (A) byte-based interfaces such as those used by stdio, you'll be stuck with the limitations of the old pre-Unicode path interface.
