### Bug description

I just ran into nextcloud/desktop#4332 (closed as stale), but on Debian Linux (Version 3.7.3). To me it looks like a server error, at least that's what the client reports.

Files and directories with mtime on 1970-01-01:

```console
$ LC_ALL=C stat misc
File: misc
Size: 160 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 0,41 Inode: 38735767 Links: 1
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ quazgar) Gid: ( 1000/ quazgar)
Access: 2024-12-03 14:14:48.272056555 +0100
Modify: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0100
Change: 2024-12-03 14:14:48.268056818 +0100
Birth: 2024-12-03 14:14:17.278073007 +0100
```

I get this error in the client:

```
Error transferring https://cloud...../misc - server replied: Not found
```
