Answer 1

我遇到了同样的错误，在使用 ftp 时，某些 linux 版本无法识别字符“*”，将其替换为特定的字符。

Answer 2

FTP will not provide you with a shell, as pointed here: https://serverfault.com/questions/28568/using-the-find-command-on-the-ftp-server/437649

So you would have to do your search using a grep for text files on the client side.

If you have access to ssh , the find command search files in a directory hierarchy. The first argument you pass should be a directory.

You could search for a pattern, for example files with the txt extension, by using the -name option:

find ./ -name "*.txt" -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

From the man page:

Don't forget to enclose the pattern in quotes in order to protect it from expansion by the shell.
