bug#10325: 24.0.92; copy-file: using a not existing source file and ftp (tramp)

[Stefan Reichör]

Hi!

Copying a not existing file locally correctly raises a file-error:

(copy-file "/home/hz/ju" "~/")

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening input file" "no such file or 
directory" "/home/hz/ju")
  copy-file("/home/hz/ju" "~/")
  eval((copy-file "/home/hz/ju" "~/") nil)
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)



However, when copying a not existent file to a ftp server hangs the copy 
operation:

(copy-file "/home/hz/ju" "/ftp:user@host.com:/dest-path/")


I see the following in the message area:

Copying /home/hz/ju to /ftp:user@host.com:/dest-path/...


I need to interrupt the operation using C-g.


Stefan.
