Subject: 29.2; eshell rm doesn't expand wildcard over TRAMP
Date: Wed, 06 Mar 2024 14:50:09 -0500

When deleting multiple files with the * wildcard expansion in eshell
over TRAMP, like this:

rm /ssh:some-machine:path/*

nothing is deleted. However, when running the same command locally:

rm path/*

the files under path are deleted. Deleting single files over TRAMP
does work, however.

Could eshell/rm support wild card expansions on remote machines?

Interesting. I didn't realize this case wasn't already covered in 
Eshell. Does the attached patch fix things for you?

Yes, that patch fixes it. The em-glob-tests pass on my machine as well.
Thanks!
