Public bug reported: When connected via sftp to remote server, the "ls -l *" returns wrong information, other then "ls -l filename".
Example: ----------------------------------------------- $ uname -a Linux laptop 2.6.38-15-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 16:04:29 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ ssh -v OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 .... $ sftp remoteserver sftp> ls -l *tgz -rw-r--r-- 0 1001 0 334258 Jun 10 21:59 ifly.root.tgz -rw-r--r-- 0 1001 0 467990 Jul 24 09:50 ifly_root.tgz sftp> ls -l ifly.root.tgz -rw-r--r-- 0 1001 0 467990 Jul 24 09:50 ifly.root.tgz sftp> ls -l ifly_root.tgz -rw-r--r-- 0 1001 0 334258 Jun 10 21:59 ifly_root.tgz sftp> ----------------------------------------------- The file ifly.root.tgz is really 467990 bytes and Jul 24 09:50, and ifly_root.tgz is 334258 bytes and Jun 10 21:59. It`s correct. But when used "ls -l *tgz" sizes and dates not corresponds to filenames, and when "ls -l *" filenames and file attributes may be mixed in random order: directory "/tmp" marked as file "-rw-r--r-", file "index.html" marked as directory, etc. With other remote servers too. When connecting to this and other remote servers from FreeBSD (openssh 5.4) all works fine. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028280 Title: sftp remoteserver "ls -l" error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1028280/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
