Description

using (var client = new SshClient(host, username, password))
{
client.Connect();
var cmd = client.CreateCommand("/home/user/scripts/test.sh");
var result = cmd.Execute();
Console.Write(result);
client.Disconnect();
}

The test.sh simply does "echo asdf" and "touch asdf"
It perfectly works when ssh'ing in the server and running ./test.sh
but only echo works, no file is created on remote server when running the C# script

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided C# example and inspect SshClient.CreateCommand, focusing on how the remote command is executed. The test.sh script should both print "asdf" and create the expected remote asdf file, matching behavior from an interactive SSH session.
