[Fab-user] get operation is mangling file names

[Erik Wickstrom]

Hi,

I'm testing Fabric with Rackspace Cloud Sites, which is an environment
without SSH access but it does have SFTP.  Fabric's put operation
seems to work correctly, however "get" is naming the files incorrectly
on the local system.

def cloud():
    env.hosts = ['address@hidden']
    env.password = '********'

def x():
    get('www.test.com/test.txt', './test/')

When I run "fab cloud x", test.txt is downloaded into my local test
directory, but the file is named .ftp2.ftptoyoursite.com
(./test/.ftp2.ftptoyoursite.com)

When I tell "get" to download to "test.txt" I end up with
test.txt.ftp2.ftptoyoursite.com.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Erik
