See TC help, section 4.b, LongNameCopy=<value>
LongNameCopy=0
During file operations, warn if target name is longer than 259 characters:
0=always
1=never
2=if source name isn't longer than 259 characters
3=disallow long names
BTW, the paths are longer than 259 characters, not 255. The name of any single path component (file/directory name) can never exceed 255 characters, only the absolute path can.
