Description

I used SftpFileStream.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, length, token).ConfigureAwait(false).GetAwaiter().GetResult() to upload file. It works well in most case but sometimes it throws below exception
'Renci.SshNet.Common.SshException,Message=seek 138412032 not supported with cursor 142308330.,Source=Renci.SshNet'

I searched in Google and found a related post which suspect it's the concurrency issue.

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/5806

I want to know the reason why this exception happens?

Research direction

Start with the reported SftpFileStream.WriteAsync(...).ConfigureAwait(false).GetAwaiter().GetResult() upload pattern and investigate how concurrent writes or seeks could produce the reported cursor mismatch. Compare the behavior with the linked rclone reports; done means identifying and documenting the cause, with a focused reproduction or test if the project supports one.
