Description

I want to copy some file from remote A (not host) to B (not host).

I get these errors:

The file(s) to paste have been deleted or moved since you copied them. Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat <file_path>

Weird thing is that this only happens to recently modified files.
Even weirder is that if I modify some old file on A, and copy it to B it gets copied, but an old version!
