Description
SftpClient.Create documentation states it throws SftpPathNotFoundException if
The specified path is invalid, or its directory was not found on the remote host.
However, when I try to create a file at an non-existing path I get SshException with "Folder not found" message with stack trace starting at SftpSession.RequestOpen. Not only this is confusing and doesn't match documented behavior, but also SshException is too generic to handle this particular case (e.g. create the directory and try again).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure through SftpClient.Create with a missing remote directory, then trace the stack from SftpSession.RequestOpen. Compare the observed SshException with the documented SftpPathNotFoundException behavior; done means the missing-directory case produces the documented specific exception and regression coverage verifies it.
