Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive

 
0Sign in to vote I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder.  I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders.  However, I am unable to rename files and folders.  No matter how long of short of a name I use I get the following error: 

"The file name you specified is not valid or too long.  Specify a different file name."

 I've mapped the "S" drive to http-://hostname.domain.-com/Shared Documents/ 

I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE.  I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows 7.  Therefore I assume this is a config issue.

 Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.
Found the answer.  When I originally mapped the drive it I used a / at the end of the URL:

https-://hostname.domain.-com/Shared Documents/

 When I remapped the drive without the / the error went away:

https-://hostname.domain.-com/Shared Documents 

I've even double checked and remapped with the / at the end, the the problem is there.
