I think you misunderstood Charles Dye' post. The above failed because the target file was the same as the source. He wanted you to RENAME the file to some simple name, other than the SFN (8.3 name) already assigned to it. He suggested that you obtain the existing SFN of the file (because of the problems with the LFN), and use it to rename the file. However, that may not have worked anyway. I suggest the following steps:
1/ make the directory where the problem file is your default
2/ enter the command (assuming COPY is the internal command, not an alias) but do not execute it:
copy /md # \temp\bad_name.jpg
3/ make sure command line editing is in INSERT mode
4/ move the cursor on the number sign (#), delete it (it was just a place marker) and press TAB until the name of the problem file is in the command line
5/ use ctrl-A to convert the command line to using SFN, and execute it.
This ought to create a copy of the file in the \TEMP directory of the same drive, under the name BAD_NAME.JPG (it will be all capitals because of the ctrl-A). That copy should now be fully accessible.
Alternately, if your goal was to MOVE the file to a different directory, use the MOVE command instead of the COPY command above/
