Filename too long query

I am trying to copy a large hierarchy of folders and files betwen two hard
Drives on the same PC. There are over 20,000 files.
The copy proceeds partway and then produces an error that a filename is too
long.
The copy aborts at that stage which is highly unsatisfactory.
What options do I have for achieving my goal?
Is there a facility or utility that I can use to look for offending/invalid
filenames?
Is there a MOVE utility or program that handles the situation better?
TIA

If there are two seperate drives, try this. Instead of "copy" all the files,
"move" them to the new location.
