Description

Problem

If you use file:// as your protocol handler with a remote.feed Pulp will move your file into the backend. If you have a backup of your published data, you probably don't want it destroying the original copy.

Solution

The FileDownloader should save a copy of the data into the working directory just like the HttpDownloader does. This will cause the data to be copied and the original source left alone. Then when being moved into the backend it will already be on the same filesystem for the final move.
