Right, because this means that you want to glob on the remote. The question is about how to stop globbing on the remote (to get a literal *), not about how to glob on the remote only.

@ChrisDown. No. The user wants the wildcard not expanded on the host, and does want it expanded on the remote, to allow it to match multiple files there. None of the files returned have a literal '*' in them. Did you mean "stop globbing on the host "?
