Traceback when trying to copy to stdout

I don't know if copying to stdout is a supported use case but either way, it should fail more gracefully than that.

Ah, no, copying to stdout is not supported. But did it create a file named "-" for you? That is odd. I'm not sure what the error should be in this case.

Looking at the code,

• The transfer would have had to been a success
• The resulting file didn't exist (even though the transfer was a success, not sure how that works)

It did not create the file. It does work if I pass ./- instead of plain -.
