File name 'globbing'

File name globbing refers to the ability of Unix shells to allow users to specify a single pattern that expands to a list of file names that match that pattern. The typical case is the '*' character: A specification of, for instance, file* will expand to a list of all local files whose names, such as file1 or file_X, match that pattern.

With the client version 2 globbing is now left to the calling shell so that a command usually passes the expanded set of files to the client. (Should a user have disabled such expansion, the client receives just the character '*'.)

It is strongly recommended to use an explicit domain name (ec: or ectmp:) to specify ECFS files; rather than a potentially failing 'els file*' you should use 'els domain:file*' (in csh, 'els "domain:file*"'). 

Backup support

By default files saved in ECFS will not have a backup copy created.
