Description

It would be handy if MoveTo was also available on SftpClient and not only SftpFile.
This can be nice if you know the filename but would like to avoid SftpClient.get(fileName) before moving the file (waiting for extra network traffic to get the SftpFile object)

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested SftpClient.MoveTo entry point with the existing SftpFile.MoveTo behavior. Trace how a filename is handled without first calling SftpClient.get(fileName), then verify that moving by filename preserves the existing SFTP behavior and avoids the extra object-fetch request.
