FWIW, I am also seeing this problem, on a remote share (not "ftp") 
mounted to a drive letter, or via its UNC path.  I've worked around the 
issue by using rsync to copy the file, rather than cp (rcp and scp also 
fail).  I'm not sure what rsync does differently, but it works.

user AT machine /k/path $ cp bob fred
cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied

user AT machine /k/path $ scp bob fred
cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied

user AT machine /k/path $ rcp bob fred
/bin/cp: skipping file `bob', as it was replaced while being copied

user AT machine /k/path $ rsync bob fred

user AT machine /k/path $ ls -l bob
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 user group 13K Apr  8 16:57 bob*
