Custom RP2040 Pi Pico clone running MicroPython 9.2.8

MicroPython version

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.2.8 on 2025-05-28; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040

Reproduction

I'm trying to copy source files to my board, but it fails if a file with the same name doesn't already exist:

mpremote connect id:E464D431C33D2021 fs cp communication.py :      
cp communication.py :
mpremote: Error with transport:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file/directory: ./communication.py

But if I first create the file...

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.2.8 on 2025-05-28; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040
>>> file = open("/communication.py", "w")
>>> file.write("Hello world!")
12
>>> file.close()
>>> file = open("/communication.py")
>>> print(file.readline())
Hello world!
>>> file.close()

... the cp command works perfectly and does what it is supposed to do.

mpremote connect id:E464D431C33D2021 fs cp communication.py :communication.py
cp communication.py :communication.py
[Shows copy progress and finishes without error]

I have also tried to omit the target file name like mpremote connect id:E464D431C33D2021 fs cp communication.py : but it makes no difference.

Expected behaviour

I expect the cp command to create the file on the target board if it doesn't already exist

Observed behaviour

The cp command fails complaining that the file can't be found. I know that, that's why I want to copy it to the unit.
