PM19203: FILETRANSFERCLIENT DOES NOT PROPERLY HANDLE A FILENAME WITH A '$' SYMBOL IN THE FILE NAME

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Customer uses FileTransferClient to upload a file that has a '$'
in the name, the following exception can be seen:

"WASX7015E: Exception running command: "$AdminConfig
existsDocument
"cells/HOSTCell01/Session$1.class""; exception
information:
com.ibm.bsf.BSFException:error while eval'ing Jacl expression:
can't
read "1" : no such variable......

The no such variable is seen because the class file has a $ in
the name...when coding this, you should escape the $ with
another $ so it should be $$, however this fails to work in
V6.1

Local fix

```
Change the filename to not include a $
```

Problem conclusion

Fixed the problem by calling expand only once during uploadFile
in the FileTransferClient code.
