Ahh, OK.  I suppose it would have been sufficient to just say you can't use NTFS for
your case.

OK.  I found an old, cheap, USB stick that had nothing of value on it and it is
already formatted as vfat.  Inserting it gives me

/dev/sdg1 on /run/media/egreshko/EB65-B61D type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1029,gid=65539,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

I copied, via D&D in Dolphin, a 702MB mp4 file without difficulty.  Forgot to check
my watch to see how long it took so I ran it again with time and this was the
result.  The source file is on an NFS mounted partition so that may have affected the
speed.  As I said, it is an old stick of unknown manufacture and doesn't have any
speed markings on it.

Sorry, I don't know.  But if the transfer also fails to complete using "cp" from the
command line it sounds not related to KDE but more kernelish.

I'm sure it is.  Unfortunately I've been unable to duplicate and am therefore of
little help.
