problem with esp8266 uploading and long filename under Windows 10

My sketch builds okay, but the upload using espota.py fails, as shown in the attached verbose log. The only reason I can think of is that whatever creates this command line for python.exe is using a shortened version of some of the path elements (like "BRANDO~1" instead of the full name because it is longer than 8 characters (old Windows standard). Do I need to restrict all of my folder names to 8 chars or less?

When I upload the same code through a COM port, the pathnames also appear shortened, but it works fine.

Running the same on my machine I see the shortened paths, but all works as expected.

python.exe tools/espota.py" -i "192.168.0.39" -p "8266" "--auth=" -f Example.ino.bin"

Can you confirm Python.exe runs from the command line and is included on the PATH and that the BIN file is present as expected in the below directory?

nn.ino.bin"
