Same goes for the FTP RFC. So, no, probably not, except if your OS defines an upper limit on path names.

Here's an interesting twist. The doc for FtpGetCurrentDirectory() says
"Using a length of MAX_PATH is sufficient for all paths."

Looking at the question again for Internet Explorer its actually a maximum URL length of 2083 and a maximum path length of 2048. As far as I know there is no specified limit and some other products have different length.

Yes, very good. ;) In fact, I've fixed up various assumptions of path length in STLSoft and recls, and there are now the classes basic_file_path_buffer in both WinSTL and UNIXSTL, which provide the appropriate sized buffers. For WinSTL, if the OS is NT, then it provides a buffer of 32001, 9x it provides 261. For UNIXSTL, if PATH_MAX is defined, then the length is 1 + PATH_MAX, otherwise it calls pathconf(). For InetSTL it's not assuming any length at all for most of the code, although things that deal with FTP directory lengths do assume _MAX_PATH, since that's documented in the WinInet API.

(I'm using ftp.digitaldaemon.com as my test site <g>) I'll naturally be updating the D mapping.

The best approach is to do one's damdest in writing the code to avoid any need to even know the maximum path length.
