There may be issues with some FTP clients, but FTP is not required to 
experience the bug. Indeed using a good ftp client may help prevent it.


1. This is a problem for local Finder copies.

2. This is a problem for for network Finder copies; i.e. when the 
server's disk is mounted over the default Apple file sharing protocol.

I suspect, though I haven not yet verified, that this is also a problem 
when the network server is mounted over non-default protocols like NFS 
or SMB.

I am not sure what happens if one were to use rcp or scp to make the 
transfer.
