No, you can't disable the globbing globally in the ftpd, as fas as I know. I think it would be a bad idea anyway, as some clients might find it very useful. I also think it's a bad idea to use shell metacharacters in filenames. You can simply quote/escape the metacharacters if needed, e.g. cd "\{3\}" Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
