ftpd and filenames with curly brackets

[Bruce Cran]

I've been trying to transfer files from one PC to another using 
FreeBSD's ftpd and have run into a problem with filenames containing 
curly brackets.   It seems that ftpd is removing the brackets before 
evaluating any ftp commands on them.  For example, from the debug log:

command: TYPE I
<--- 200
Type set to I.
command: SIZE guid_{1234567890}_file.txt
<-- 550
guid_1234567890_file.txt: No such file or directory.

Is there a way to enable it to deal with such filenames?
