Some versions of TERM for UNIX, particularly prior to version 6.2.5b, can only read and write file names up to 14 characters long. This affects scripts, file transfer, log files, etc. The solution is to upgrade your version of TERM.

At this writing, TERM for AIX still exhibits the problem. The most current versions of TERM for all other operating systems do not have this restriction.
