remote file moves, over SSH, with wildcards ... help needed.

(FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE)

I cannot move a file, over ssh, with wildcards:

# ssh user at host.com mv /dir/file*.wav /dir2
ssh: No match.

Ok, so I quote it:

# ssh user at host.com mv "/dir/file*.wav" /dir2
Password:
mv: rename /dir/file*.wav to /dir2/*.wav: No such file or directory

I even tried single quoting both paths, and just double quoting the
file*.wav

Nothing works.

Is it possible to move with wildcards over ssh ?
