[Bug 530714] [NEW] Can't sftp to directories with brackets in the name.

[Adam Buchbinder]

Public bug reported:

Over sftp, I can navigate into directories with brackets in the name,
but I can't do anything once I'm there. The suggestions in bug 267980
don't fix this, because I can't escape the directory name when I'm not
even writing it in the 'ls' command.

To replicate:

/tmp$ mkdir \[test\]
/tmp$ sftp localhost
Connecting to localhost...
sftp> cd /tmp
sftp> cd \[test\]
sftp> ls
Can't ls: "/tmp/[test]" not found
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /tmp/[test]
