    How to copy or move a folder too "deep"19 levels


    On one Windows 10 computer, I have a folder with 19 levels of subfolders this is a Genealogy file. This folder is functional, opens and closes, etc. The only drawback of the multileveled structure is minimal: somewhere below the 15th level, I cannot rename the file. I'd like to copy this folder to another Windows 11 computer. However, when I try to copy or move this folder to another computer via Network or to a USB drive, at some point deep in the folder I get the error message "File name is too long...". As a result, the folder is copied without several lower levels subfolders.How can

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
