ftpd performs filename globbing, i.e. it interprets
the wildcards "?", "*" and "[...]", and additionally
it expands csh-like brace expressions.
In other words: What you see is expected behaviour,
not a bug. Try prepending a backslash in front of
the braces, i.e.: get guid_\{1234567890\}_file.txt
(I haven't tested this ... It might be possible that
the FTP client removes one level of backslashes, so
in that case you need to write two backslashes each.)
Best regards
Oliver
