It's a problem with dd on the remote side.  It's worked around in
4.6.0-pre1, although you still can get occasional errors while uploading
long files.

I think the last item is problematic, although you probably can simulate 
it using extfs.  Everything else should work.  See e.g. "Do something on 
the current file" in the default mc.menu.  There is no other scriptable 
GUI in mc, only simple input dialogs.

Perhaps you didn't read FAQ, question 2.1.  That's the last time I'm
answering your questions.  There are many other subscribers in this list.  
Maybe they will explain you that in more details.
