FTP using MPUT to unix does not allow wild card

I am trying to put a group of save files on a server, and it will not allow
me to us mput and specify *01.savf as the generic name.

When I connect from the i5/os FTP it allows me to log in, then I get the
following message;

UNIX Type: L8

When I use PUT and the entire file name, the file gets sent. When I use the
MPUT *01.savf command I get the following error;

Character (*) is not allowed in object name.

Can I not use a wild card with MPUT to this type of file system? Is there
another wild card to use that means the same thing? I don't want to send
all the save files to the server, just the ones that are named ending in 01
(I have 01, 02 through 10 as generations of saves).

I searched the archives and thought that I could use the * for a wild card.
Any thoughts?

Jim
