Well, the problems are that it abbreviates the file-names. 
So, concretely.

I wanted to copy a whole batch of files, all with similar file names
(photos, whose file names carry the date-hour-minutes etc which makes the
file names long), So I marked all of them in dired, copied all of them over
the net in a batch to the file-server, using "smb" as protocol. But that
breaks, as some of the files in the target system get the same file-name
via abbreviation, which results in name clash and the copy-batch stops at
that point.

ok. I will post the infos about FTP-version, the protocol the evening then.

Cheers, and thanks, Martin
