shell link copy files eats all of /tmp

[lukdk]

Hello,

When using a shell link to a remote host to copy multiple files, it is not possible to copy more than the size of your /tmp, even though none of the files is bigger than your /tmp max size.

deleting the /tmp/mc-[username]/fish-files only happens after all files are being copied. The temp file should be deleted right after the copy of that single file is done.

example:
more than 3 files of 900MB on /mnt/data
/tmp on a partition of 2 GB

when trying to copy the files to a remote host only the first 2 files will succeed. The /tmp partition will be 100% full. MC gives an error regarding disk space. When choosing to skip all, it will continue with the rest of the files, creating 0byte files on the remote host.

I've also tested this with an older version and had exactly the same issue
