Cant Transfer Files to USB stick

Hi oxo42

Different filesystems have different requirements. This link (http://www.comentum.com/File-Systems-HFS-FAT-UFS.html) lists the information below for Windows compatibility.

Windows file names compatibility:

• Windows uses two different file systems: File Allocation Table (FAT) file system and New Technology File System (NTFS).
  
• File and folder names may be up to 255 characters long on FAT file systems and 256 characters long on NTFS. Full pathnames may be up to 260 characters long.
  
• There is a limit to the full pathnames of 260 characters long.
  
• Backslash "\" is used as the directory separator.
  
• File and directory names may not contain the special characters: "/\*?<>|:
  
• Periods are allowed in file and directory names, but not as the last character. for example "letter.doc" is legal but "letterdoc." is illegal file name.
  
• Filenames preserves case but are not case sensitive.
