How Wildcards Work in FileZilla Server/FileZilla Pro Enterprise Server

Does the FTP server support wildcards?

Yes. The FTP server now supports wildcard patterns (* and ?) in the LIST, NLST, MLSD, and STAT commands,
with matching behavior identical to Windows. This feature is available on all platforms but is disabled by default.

To enable wildcard support for a session, use:

OPTS filezilla.wildcards=1

When enabled, the server will advertise this capability in the FEAT command output.

For details on Windows wildcard matching behavior, see the official Microsoft documentation: Wildcards in Windows.
