Can not make this work inside a php script.
Have tried several variations:
$cmd = "scp $user@stagingcws.$tld:$directory/\{$files} $tmp_dir/.";
$cmd = "scp $user@stagingcws.$tld:$directory/" . '{' . $files . '} ' .
"$tmp_dir/.";
etc...
I can echo out the command and get a well formed command, i.e. one that will execute from a command
prompt, but when I try to exec() $cmd from within the script the globbing is taken literally.
