Description
I need to replace FTP with SFTP. My current code is using FtpClient class from Xceed FTP and there is a property LocalAddress that is used to select local network interface. I can not find anything similar in SftpClient from SSH.NET

Research direction
Start by locating the SftpClient connection setup and compare it with the FtpClient.LocalAddress behavior described in the issue. Check how SSH.NET establishes SFTP connections and determine what interface-selection behavior would need to be supported. Done means users can select the local network interface used by SftpClient, with coverage for the relevant connection behavior.
