Sorry for not precisely describing what I meant by "precise recipe", but if
you assume I'm a complete idiot, it helps ;-) : I don't use dired, so I have
no idea how you did the copying from local to ftp.
Also this kind of problem is often/usually dependent on the ftp server, so
some amount of info about the ftp server(s) where this appears would help.
Finally, I don't think I have write-access to any ftp server any more.
Can I use sftp instead? How would I go about telling ange-ftp to use sftp?
One more thing: if someone could reproduce (part of) the problem without
dired, that would help (or if someone could edebug dired to see where the
problem comes from).
Oh, wait: could you get a backtrace (by setting setq debug-on-error or if
that doesn't work, by setting debug-on-signal) ?
