Unable to copy long file name from WD Mybook duo (NTFS) to Synology (Btrfs)

Hi all, I was not able to copy files with long file name from WD Mybook duo (NTFS) to Synology (Btrfs). Please advise because I have 3TB of files with long file names. Even a 94 character file name cannot be copied. WD Mybook duo (NTFS) have no issue on handling that.

are there any special characters in the name?

also any reason why for such a long name?

Both files systems have the same restriction in terms of name length.

can you copy and paste a problematic filename into a plain text file.

The folder/subfolder/subfolder/subfolder also counts as part of the "file name".

I am assuming that you have permissions on the target directory
