Summary: sftp client globs entire path, directories enclosed in
square brackets are unusable
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P4
Component: sftp
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: vdr781 at yahoo.com
sftp client uses glob() to glob the absolute path + relative path. In the
scenario where the current working directory is something like "/tmp/
[testdir]", and you try to retrieve a file "testfile.txt" from that directory
doing a get "testfile.txt" or mget "testfile.txt" then sftp client prepends the
cwd and the arguments to get and then passes them to a globbing routine.
Making it difficult to retrieve files from a directory enclosed in square
brackets. sftp should probably not glob at all when using get/put, and only
glob the arguments to mget/mput <not the current working directory>.
