I have managed to transfer 3.8GB video file from camera, but it first filled whole RAM (4GB) and then some swap, after that the progress bar in nautilus started to work transfering the cashed data. Also in this period disk activity lamp on the camera stop blinking.
So, it first transfers the data to RAM, then it writes it to HDD. Which is bad choice, since the data can be in gigabytes.

This was in Ubuntu 12.04.
But, in Ubuntu 12.10, on a different computer it didn't succeeded even it has 4GB of RAM and swap. It timeouted.
