Description
Running macOS 10.15.7 with PowerShell 7.2.1 and Posh-SSH 3.0.0
When I invoke Set-SCPItem -ComputerName "SCPhost.FQDN" -Credential username /sourcepath/to/file -Destination /, I am prompted for credentials, then pwsh locks up hard: ctrl-c, soft and hard resets don't get the prompt back. Only way to reset is to kill the pwsh process.
The destination is a Windows-based SolarWinds SFTP/SCP server. The file is getting created, with a programatic name (1944953288 0 and repeated attempts generate more files with the same name, followed by _%date%_%time%) but left open at 0K.
Am I doing something wrong?

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the exact Set-SCPItem invocation on macOS 10.15.7 with PowerShell 7.2.1 and Posh-SSH 3.0.0 against the Windows-based SolarWinds server. Investigate the hard lock and the zero-byte, left-open destination file; done means the command returns and the uploaded file is created with its contents.
