Filenames:

Should not exceed 64 characters in length, including extension (note 1)
Should be all lower case Should not contain spaces but use underscores,
even things like linked .doc files (note 2) Should be meaningful
reflecting the content Filename extension for (X)HTML files should be
.html not .htm

Directories

Names should not exceed 64 characters in length, including extension
(note 1) Names should be all lower case Names should not contain spaces
but use underscores Names should reflect the content the content Should
not be nested more than eight deep for a working site (note 1)

I stand prepared to be knocked down.

+1 from me

I wish other people that I worked with would come up with meaningful
titles for things.

Question:

If certain things cannot cope with a file name and also a folder name
longer than 64 characters, what happens if the filename and directory
name combined exceed 64 characters?
