Public bug reported: Over sftp, I can navigate into directories with brackets in the name, but I can't do anything once I'm there. The suggestions in bug 267980 don't fix this, because I can't escape the directory name when I'm not even writing it in the 'ls' command.
To replicate: /tmp$ mkdir \[test\] /tmp$ sftp localhost Connecting to localhost... sftp> cd /tmp sftp> cd \[test\] sftp> ls Can't ls: "/tmp/[test]" not found sftp> pwd Remote working directory: /tmp/[test] ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 2 09:29:46 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: openssh-client 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-19.56-generic SourcePackage: openssh Uname: Linux 2.6.31-19-generic i686 ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Can't sftp to directories with brackets in the name. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
