I get this: ftp> cd /roo? ---> CWD /roo? 550 /roo?: No such file or directory. (There is, of course, a directory /root.) This is the ftpd(8) from 4.3-Release. If the behaviour changed in 4-stable after 4.3-Release, then that's a serious incopatibility indeed. It should be backouted immediately. In particular, globbing upon RETR is _definitely_ not the job of the server. That's what the clients' mget command is for (which sends an NLST, then performs globbing on the client side, and then uses RETR to get the actual files). Globbing upon CWD could be subject to discussion, but at least it should be an option that defaults to off.
