This is due to the limitations in non-Google mtp stacks. You cannot do
direct file access, which makes it impossible to do low level file
copies like this. The file managers use the gvfs api that allows file
copies. From the command line you can use the gvfs-copy utility.

You could also install cyanogenmod on the phone to get the Google mtp
stack.
