Bug Description
Binary package hint: obexftp
I expected the "-G" option to be safe, that is, if for some reason the file
was not successfully transfered, it would not proceed with the deletion.
The following command destroyed data when my present working directory
was not writable. Even worse, there were no error messages of any kind, just
a file I no longer have.
obexftp -c C: -c Data -G important.txt
$ cat /etc/lsb-release

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
