Description

OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
WindTerm: 2.6.0 pre4

I have created a `SSH` connect, details as follows:
![ssh_config](https://github.com/kingToolbox/WindTerm/assets/11952321/f41279cb-034e-4cca-a5e1-c20360f4c6a9)

this `SSH` works very well sometimes , however, often reports a wired error after a successful connecting:
`SFTP session failed to allocate. sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found`
![ssh](https://github.com/kingToolbox/WindTerm/assets/11952321/077ae723-8fe9-488f-91a5-735be0b25724)

I think there may be a issue somewhere.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SSH connection on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 with WindTerm 2.6.0 pre4, focusing on the intermittent SFTP allocation failure and the reported /usr/libexec/sftp-server path. Compare successful and failed connections to identify what changes; done means SFTP allocates reliably without the “not found” error.
