Description

Hi,

I have created a text file, but when I step through the code IsRegularFile() returns false.

What is the reason for this?

Regards
Li

Research direction

The issue names IsRegularFile() but no source file or test. Start by locating that method in SSH.NET, reproduce the report with a text file, and inspect the relevant file-type check; done means explaining the observed result or adding a focused regression test if the behavior is confirmed incorrect.
