Wildcard expansion is a job of the shell, not the application. On all standard windows cmd shells I've been using so far (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10), wildcard expansion works just fine.

JTAG doesn't work in COM mode, so no wonder that uploading a bitstream can't work that way, especially not when using the -a modifier, which tells the ujprog to send the file as a stream of bytes.

seems wildcard is not expanded for windows, it probably tries to find file ".bit" (asterisk as part of file name

-a is used for plain ascii upload in compatiblity COM RS232 port mode without -a ujprog runs in FTDI vendor specific mode and COM is not specified because it looks for usb product/vendor id and names because it needs to bitbang JTAG, not do any COM port RS232 at all
