Bug#923286: scp: 'protocol error: filename does not match request' even though it does match

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.9p1-6
Severity: normal

The file "This is a [file].txt" (w/o quotes) exists on `remote`.

The following does no longer work:

   $ scp remote:'./"This is a [file].txt"' blubb
   protocol error: filename does not match request

These however do still work:

   $ scp remote:'"This is a [file].txt"' blubb
   $ scp remote:'./This\ is\ a\ \[file\].txt' blubb
   $ scp remote:'This\ is\ a\ \[file\].txt' blubb

Extended globs (from zsh) now only work sometimes as well:

   $ scp daikoku:'./This\ is\ a\ \[file\].txt(.)' blubb
   protocol error: filename does not match request
   $ scp daikoku:'This\ is\ a\ \[file\].txt(.)' blubb
