Overwriting from one window to another (same computer with different domain) zeros out files

[mstahv]

I had two windows open, both targeting to same machine:

ssh user@foo.bar:/dir/file
ssh user@foo.baz:/dir/file

When I copied file over the other, it was truncated to 0 bytes. As I though the other window was to a third machine, this was rather severe for me, I lost the file contents for ever 👎

This will possibly only apply to protocols such as FTP and SFTP that read and write directly to the underlying file system on the server but not to WebDAV or object storage.
