FTP on 10.4 Server and wildcards

[lyndonl]

Hi Folks

I have come across an odd problem on 10.4.9 server

if I ftp into an account and type in ls I get a directory listing
if i try to do a listing of files with certain extensions i.e. .zip
and i use ls *.zip
I get an error saying “No such file or directory”
this is what I mean
WARNING: testfile1.zi No such file or directory
WARNING: testfile2.zi No such file or directory
WARNING: testfile3.zi No such file or directory
WARNING: testfile4.zi No such file or directory

and I can see why
It appears to drop the last character when you use a *

even if I do an ls test*
I t still drops the last character and then can’t fine the file

Any Ideas?
