Hello again,

I tried to look at this in more detail. And here is ugly patch that
works for me (in combination with yours).

Here is log from sesssion:

sftp> ls
sftp> ls *
aaa 				hw-http3.1.5-0043.web		hw-http3.1.5-0049.web                    
s5600-vrp310-r1510p06.bin	s5600-vrp310-r1510p12.bin	s5600_v408.btm                           
vrpcfg.cfg			vrpcfg.def                               
sftp> get vrpcfg.cfg

flash:/vrpcfg.cfg

So it seems to problem in glob. BTW. sftp client has a problem with names
that contain spaces.
