I haven't looked at the code like you have but I believe this is to
avoid the case of the file being copied onto itself.
FWIW, I am also seeing this problem, on a remote share (not "ftp")
mounted to a drive letter, or via its UNC path. I've worked around the
issue by using rsync to copy the file, rather than cp (rcp and scp also
fail). I'm not sure what rsync does differently, but it works.
user@machine /k/path $ cp bob fred
cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied
user@machine /k/path $ scp bob fred
cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied
user@machine /k/path $ rcp bob fred
/bin/cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied
user@machine /k/path $ rsync bob fred
user@machine /k/path $ ls -l bob
