Title:
  Issues traversing a sftp server when files or folders contain the
  character "]"

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am unsure if the bug is with openssh sftp client or within openssh-
  sftp-server

  When traversing an sftp server, I encounter issues for files and, in
  particular, directories containing the character "]". Tab completion
  does not escape the character in sftp shell, however, in bash it will
  escape the character for tab completion. If I "cd" into a directory
  that contains the character I cannot get any files with in that
  directory and I have to rename the directory outside of the sftp shell
  to remove the character in order to be able to correctly get files.

  Ex:

  sftp> cd Movie\ \[1080p]/
  sftp> ls
  Movie.1080p.mp4
  sftp> get Movie.1080p.mp4
  File "/home/hitsuji/movies/Movie [1080p]/Movie.1080p.mp4" not found.
