Description
Windows 10 now supports paths longer than MAX_PATH for compatible applications: http://stackoverflow.com/a/27694470/1032586 (without using "unsafe" UNC paths, like discussed here
It would be nice to add this "longPathAware" feature to FileZilla.

Unfortunately - no. At least for 15063.0.170317-1834. (But there's a lot of 3rd party apps that do allow to browsing such files. Just like there's a bunch of web browsers which do support some things, not supported by windows built-in web browsers.).
OK, hope they would add long paths support to windows file explorer soon.

By now, on Windows 10 version 1909 build 18363.720, the Windows Explorer file browser is able to show the contents of
C:\temp\long_path_struct\Test 00040-level file structure\abcdefghkL01\abcdefghkL02\abcdefghkL03\abcdefghkL04\abcdefghkL05\abcdefghkL06\abcdefghkL07\abcdefghkL08\abcdefghkL09\abcdefghkL10\abcdefghkL11\abcdefghkL12\abcdefghkL13\abcdefghkL14\abcdefghkL15\abcdefghkL16\abcdefghkL17\abcdefghkL18\abcdefghkL19\abcdefghkL20\abcdefghkL21\abcdefghkL22\abcdefghkL23\abcdefghkL24\abcdefghkL25\abcdefghkL26\abcdefghkL27\abcdefghkL28\abcdefghkL29\abcdefghkL30\abcdefghkL31\abcdefghkL32\abcdefghkL33\abcdefghkL34\abcdefghkL35\abcdefghkL36\abcdefghkL37\abcdefghkL38\abcdefghkL39\abcdefghkL40\
folder (>500 chars long) and perform basic copy/delete operations. Some stuff is still broken for such a long paths (e.g. built-in zip unpacking tool), but, imho, this does not matter much.
This works even without explicitly enabling long paths support via regedit or gpedit.
So... maybe now it's a good time to implement the "longPathAware" feature?

It seems that LongPath support isn't functioning properly on Windows 11.
One workaround is to use the
?\C:\<ftp folder path> format in the user configuration.
However, this method doesn't appear to be compatible with the latest version of FileZilla Server.
I was able to get it working with version 0.9.96.2.
Does Windows Explorer have this flag set yet? It's a necessary prerequisite, otherwise FileZilla will create files users cannot work with outside of FileZilla.
