+\S{psftp-wildcards} Wildcards in PSFTP
+
+Several commands in PSFTP support \q{wildcards} to select multiple
+files.
+
+For \e{local} file specifications (such as the first argument to
+\c{put}), wildcard rules for the local operating system are used. For
+instance, PSFTP running on Windows might require the use of \c{*.*}
+where PSFTP on Unix would need \c{*}.
+
+For \e{remote} file specifications (such as the first argument to
+\c{get}), PSFTP uses a standard wildcard syntax (similar to POSIX
+wildcards):
+
+\b \c{*} matches any sequence of characters (including a zero-length
+sequence).
+
+\b \c{?} matches exactly one character.
+
+\b \c{[abc]} matches exactly one character which can be \cw{a},
+\cw{b}, or \cw{c}.
+
+\lcont{
+
+\c{[a-z]} matches any character in the range \cw{a} to \cw{z}.
+
+\c{[^abc]} matches a single character that is \e{not} \cw{a}, \cw{b},
+or \cw{c}.
+
+Special cases: \c{[-a]} matches a literal hyphen (\cw{-}) or \cw{a};
+\c{[^-a]} matches all other characters. \c{[a^]} matches a literal
+caret (\cw{^}) or \cw{a}.
+
+}
+
+\b \c{\\} (backslash) before any of the above characters (or itself)
+removes that character's special meaning.
+
+A leading period (\cw{.}) on a filename is not treated specially,
+unlike in some Unix contexts; \c{get *} will fetch all files, whether
+or not they start with a leading period.
