Description

Version/Platform/Processor information (from `ipfs version --all`):

0.4.3-rc3

Type (bug, feature, meta, test failure, question): feature
Area (api, commands, daemon, fuse, etc): commands
Priority (from P0: functioning, to P4: operations on fire): P0
Description:

Would be nice if this worked:

```
> ipfs files cp /Users/earth/go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/Makefile /Makefile
Error: file does not exist
```

The error is super confusing anyway.
