Beware of special chars: * and . are often expanded by your shell, hence sendingfiles* will probably do
what you want, putting every file existing in the current directory onto the terminal, but receivingfiles* may not do what you want: it will only get every file which already exist in the current
directory, skipping those you just created on your terminal ! If you want to get every file which exist
in the terminal, you should use '*' or something similar (please read your shell manual).
The same warning applies to other special chars, such as $, ~, &,... which should be protected by
surrounding arguments by quotes (') or by using single backslashes (\) just before them (please read your
shell manual).
