Description Dalibor Pospíšil 2012-03-12 16:13:54 UTC

Description of problem:

In change log can be found that vsftpd can match files by glob pattern.
I found that somethink?* does work while somethink*? respectively *?somethink does not. I foundout that bash and tcl use glob pattern matching and both can match *? and ?*. There can be more differencies. I propose to use the same implementation as in bash or tcl (string match).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

vsftpd-2.2.2-11.el6.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to ftp
2. create file test
3. ls te?*
4. ls *?st
  
Actual results:

ls *?st does not list anythink

Expected results:

ls should list test file
