As far as I can see, this is a client-side problem of CURRENT's ftp(1). FreeBSD ftp(1) was completely replaced with "lukemftp," ftp client from NetBSD, in CURRENT a year ago. The commit message was promising: ...Lukemftp supports most of the previous features of FreeBSD ftp, but has been better maintained and includes new features. Unfortunately, this particular feature doesn't fall into that most; "lukemftp" can't seem to detect a glob pattern on the command line. It is said that lukem@netbsd is very responsive, so the matter depends on finding somebody to make a patch and sumbit it to him, and waiting until the patch is merged back to our src/contrib/ along with other "lukemftp" updates. If the advocates of "lukemftp" don't do the job, I think I will do it by myself since I've already volunteered to look after ftpd(8). -- Yar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
