I have a folder with a lot of files and folders inside it.

I would like to copy that to another location so the result is a folder with the same file and folder structure, but with all files in 8.3 format.

How to do it?

PS: Well, some files have extensions with more than 3 characters (e.x. home.sh3d, windows.theme etc.), so when I say about transforming all filenames to 8.3 I would like to say about transforming them to a 8.X format (i.e., to do not change extensions).
