Description
I'm trying to copy files from s3 to a local system. The files were downloaded from a variety of sources and kept their original filenames, some of which seem to have included ** or other wildcard patterns. Is there a way to disable globbing or escape the filenames? I am using filenames directly as supplied by an s3fs ls call.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a copy from S3 to a local system with filenames containing ** or other wildcard characters, using names returned by an s3fs ls call. Trace how those names are passed into the copy operation and define whether literal wildcard names should work through escaping or a globbing-disabled option.
