Description

I'm playing with both SFTP and SCP modes of writing from .NET to a Linux box. The SftpClient supports creating a directory. I don't see similar functionality for SCP. If I pass a remote path to Upload where directories are missing the operation fails with a path not found error.

Research direction

Start with the SftpClient directory-creation behavior and the SCP Upload path handling described in the issue. Compare how Upload processes a remote path with missing directories; done when SCP uploads can create those directories instead of failing with a path-not-found error.
