+### Please describe the problem.
+
+When using "`git annex addurl --file`" with an ftp url, the committed 
+file is deleted after dropping the contents with --force (because 
+git-annex can't determine if the ftp server contains a valid copy) and 
+executing "`git annex get`". It's the "`git annex get`" command that 
+deletes the file.
+
+This does not happen when using an http url.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+`git clone https://gist.github.com/sunny256/24f6c29645efd0aab4d9`
+
+and execute the bash script `runme`. There's more info in a long comment 
+there, plus various flags you can enable/disable to test under different 
+conditions.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+Using the newest git-annex from <https://downloads.kitenet.net/.git/> in 
+directory git-annex/linux/current/, 5.20150420-gb0ebb23.
+
+Have tested with versions way back to v5.20131221, they all behave the 
+same.
+
+Using Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy) on x86_64 with brand new git 2.4.0.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
