Description
I have a script that is constantly looping and a part of the loop is to do a test-sftpPath for a specific folder. If that folder exists it triggers an if statement. This works fine the first run through, however, if I create the folder it is checking for while the script is still running it wont show in get-sftpchilditem or test-sftppath until you use the module to update some other file in the directory or start a new sftp session.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the looping Test-SFTPPath and Get-SFTPChildItem scenario in one SFTP session, creating the checked-for directory while the loop runs. Compare directory visibility before and after updating another file or starting a new session; done means newly created directories are detected without either workaround.
