1) Please post "the script". We'll need to check which program is expanding the asterisks (Shell or FTP ?).
2) If you have Shell access on the FTP server, while in the target directory please post the output from these commands which are designed to make invisible characters visible:
Please always post directory listings, program code and program output in CODE tags.
3) What Operating Systems and versions are you running on the source and target servers?
4) What Shell do you use?
5) If you are using anything other than the "ftp" which comes with your Operating System please specify what FTP package you have installed.
6) Do any of the filenames contain space characters or other non-alphanumeric characters, or are any of the filenames very long? It is easy to create a file on a unix or MSDOS computer which has a name which is invalid in FTP.

ftpgroups - group password file for use with the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands.
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The file is the group password file for use with the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands.
To enable the use of this file, the entry must be made in the configuration file
This file contains an alphanumeric string, encrypted password, and the actual group name from the file. Each entry is separated by After a
user logs in, the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands may be used to specify an enhanced access group and associated password. If the group
name and password are valid, the user becomes (via a member of the group specified in the group access file,
The format of the group access file is:
where access_group_name is an arbitrary (alphanumeric and/or punctuation) string. encrypted_password is the password encrypted via
crypt(3), exactly like in real_group_name is the name of a valid group listed in
NOTE: For this option to work for anonymous FTP users, the ftp server must keep permanently open and the group access file is loaded into
memory. This means that:
(1) the ftp server now has an additional file descriptor open, and
(2) the necessary passwords and access privileges granted to users via SITE GROUP will be static for the duration of an FTP ses-
sion.
If you have an urgent need to change the access groups and/or passwords *NOW*, then kill all of the running FTP servers.
