The problem occurs either way. Of course, the problem is much easier to see with a large file or group of files since the problem is data transmission errors. With a single file, I once was able to get a transfer to complete, but that was only once. When I use the USB1.1 hub in line with the PocketPRO I was able to transfer a whole folder full of files.

The way that FAT16 (VFAT) supports long file names is not all that different in principle from FAT32. NTFS is a whole different story, but that will probably never be on a reader device unless M$ makes it. Anyway, using USB1.1 makes the whole problem go away so it could hardly be a long file name problem.
