Public bug reported:
A colon in a file or directory name causes the operation to hang when
copying to a phone via ptp.
To reproduce:
On android phone:
1) plug usb cable between phone and computer
2) Go to settings. Search for USB. Click on "Standard USB configuration".
(Alternately, notice mystery status card at very bottom of notifications
saying "Android system - charging over USB, click for options", and click on
it.)
3) Select PTP.
Then on Ubuntu 20.04 (and probably other recent vintages as well):
0) observe your phone popping up in dock and in Files
1) cp good.mp3 bad:.mp3
2) xdg-open .
3) In dock or Files, also open your phone
4) drag good.mp3 to your phone, note that it succeeds
5) drag bad:.mpd to your phone, note that it hangs
