Comment (by zippy1970):

 Ok, it turns out to be a "problem" with the new version of Pure-FTPd that
 was installed with Debian 11. It installs v1.0.49 (previously installed
 version was v1.0.47) and according to their changelog
 [https://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd/news/#version-1048-released
 here], globbing was removed from the NLST command in v1.0.48 (which makes
 sense since it's actually not allowed according to the RFC).

 So it's weird that this problem hasn't been reported numerous times before
 since everybody who uses the FTP method to update and also uses Pure-
 FTPd,will have this problem...

 The only solution is a rewrite of the code in class-wp-filesystem-
 ftpext.php, or switching to the direct method of updating. Which sucks
 because that opens a whole can of worms of secutiry issues.
