Huh? The brackets are in matched pairs AFAICT.

It might help if you showed a little of what you tried. Globbing when
the files are on the localhost is easy:
$ scp *.diff remote:/tmp
Going in the other direction requires you to quote the glob characters
to prevent them from being expanded by your local shell:
$ scp remote:'/tmp/*.diff' .
