File Should Exist not allowing GLOB

[spooning]

When I try to test whether a remote file exists or not using 'File Should Exist' and pass in a GLOB pattern, it appears to take the asterisk as a literal asterisk.
Example:

File Should Exist /path/to/file/abc*

This returns "File '/path/to/file/abc*' does not exist."

SSHLibrary version 2.0.0
Robotframework JAR 2.8.1
CentOS 6.2

Please explain the bug you have encountered and most importantly, how to
reproduce it.

Please also include the following information:
- SSHLibrary version
- Used interpreter (Python/Jython) and its version
- Operating system

Sorry meant to delete the boiler plate/template part. Robotframework JAR 2.8.1 uses Jython 2.5.3

Yes, glob patterns dont work. I think this would be an enhancement. Unless someone from inside Nokia requests this, or someone provides a patch, I dont think this will happen in near future.

You can work around this by creating your own keyword that uses the list files, which does support patterns.
