Don't know if I can help, but the people who can probably need to know more:
Are you doing this from the command line or a filemanager?
Do you have the right permissions? If creating the new file, do you have write permission for the directory you're copying to? Does the destination file already exist read-only? (check by ls -lh) Do you have enough free space (df -h)?
What does $echo $LANG say? (Given FC2, hopefully (something).UTF-8 )
What file systems are you copying to and from (at the very least the output of mount would be useful)?
What are the names of the files in question? I managed:
$ touch Skarphéðinn $ cp Skarphéðinn /tmp $ ls /tmp/Skarphéðinn /tmp/Skarphéðinn
-- imalone
