Details:

To reproduce:
1. have a machine with a 4G file on it and just 1G free space
2. mc
3. Left -> Shell connection, enter remote machine name and connect
4. In the right pane, locate the big file and hit F5 to copy it to the remote
machine

result:
while mc pretends it is transferring the file to the remote machine, it is
actually copying it to ~/tmp/mc-$USER.
If I had enough space it would start transfer _AFTER_ the file is completely
copied (after it _CLAIMS_ to user 100% was transferred).
But since I do not have this much space, I am SOL and it fails.
