Local transfer does not  involve the same system procedures. In fact, I
think that a temp file is opened for the new file to be written and then
renamed as the last step for the user.

Well, I think you could read and write in 'mouthfuls' rather than bytes.


open file dorce for binary read
open file dest for append
put 0 into yyy
repeat
   read from file sorce at yyy for xxx --chars from yyy
   write it to file sorce
   add xxx to yyy
   updateProgressCounter
end repeat
close file dest
close file sorce

!! Not the exact syntax, but close to that
