I very much disagree.  Making "put" hold two copies of a file by  
default would cause people transferring large files to have failures.

It isn't a bug.  There is no defect to report.  You are requesting a  
new feature.  And I can see making a request for a mktemp(3) feature.   
However, this would be specialized to OpenSSH's servers, and FileZilla  
may prefer a more universal feature set.

This is definitely a client-side problem and not a server side.
