could it be that there is no more space left on tmp directories ?

(same thing happened to me a couple of times for option F2,3
so i never used it again , switched to shell scripts, but never
investigated it)

i know that for ftp transfers MC first transfers files to tmp and
then uploads them , it could (possibly) be the same behavior
