the maximum is 255 but as mentioned by other it is OS dependant. So its better to check what is your target FTP server OS and then figure out the actual length it supports.

Since it is os based, you dont see any document from PI perspective about the size of the file name. Again you drop the file or access the file from the sender or target system. Strictly it is not specific to PI environment. So go with meaningful name and decide the size according to the requirement. There is no set rule for the size.

Hi Nitin,

         The maximum number of characters in filename is dependent upon Operating system from which you are reading the file or writing the file to. You can follow this link which gives details of max file name length for each operating system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename#Length_restrictions

I think 64 characters

It all depends on operating systems where it is writing. Each operating system will follow its own standards.

There is no definite set rule for the filename length max. You can see it in the filename section of the channel.  But I would certainly go with some definte length with meaningful name.
