Unable to "ls" within a directory with special characters "[" or "]"

Issue appears as follows once connected to remote SFTP server:
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /foo
sftp> ls
directory [one]
sftp> cd directory\ [one]
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /foo/directory [one]
sftp> ls
Can't ls: "/foo/directory [one]" not found

However, the client is freely able to list the directory contents when
outside the directory that contains the special characters: "[" and/or
"]" 
sftp> ls "/foo/directory [one]" 
Successful.
