Public bug reported:

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.
sftp>
