Thanks for taking the time to report this problem. It is actually not a
bug but rather normal behaviour. The trouble you are in is that special
characters need to be "escaped". This are not only brackets, but also
white spaces like " ". So, if you want to transfer a file try this:
file name "test[ ].txt"
$ scp SERVER:test\\\[\\\ \\\].txt DESTINATION
If you want a comformatable way, try installing a shell like "zsh" and
configure auto completion as this enables you to handle this in a very
comfortable way. Feel free to ask in Launchpad Answers for this.
Best.
