Description

We are installing Posh-SSH from gallery using Install-Module Posh-SSH and hitting this error when using Set-SCPItem. This has been working fine for months until this week we started seeing this. When I check the version of the Renci.SshNet.dll in the assembly path it shows version 2020 not 2017.

`PS C:\ArcBox> Get-InstalledModule -Name Posh-SSH

Version Name Repository Description


3.0.2 Posh-SSH PSGallery Provide SSH and SCP functionality for executing commands against remote hosts.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Set-SCPItem with Posh-SSH 3.0.2 and inspect the assemblies loaded from the module's Assembly directory, especially Renci.SshNet.dll. Trace the command's dependency on Renci.SshNet version 2017.0.0.0 and confirm that the corrected behavior allows the supplied SCP command to complete successfully.
