transferring a file with file name starting with a number

[decarlof]

The is a different behavior when transferring files with name staring with a number e.g.

123.h5

in this case a temporary file called

.0.27678456661111706123.h5

is generated in the destination directory. Once the transfer is completed the destination file name is renamed correctly as 123.h5.

If the file name starts with a letter e.g. a123.h5 no temporary file is created in the destination directory.

This behavior causes tools based on inotify like react to fail.
