Description
ScpClient.Upload do not work with mikrotik
I try to use latest beta with
Renci.SshNet.RemotePathTransformation.None according to #255
and found that Upload do not work with mikrotik.
There is also issue in Posh-SSH https://github.com/darkoperator/Posh-SSH/issues/349
My code is
Add-Type -Path D:\Renci.SshNet.dll
$client = [Renci.SshNet.ScpClient]::new($mikrotik_address, $mikrotik_port, $mikrotik_user, $mikrotik_password)
$client.connect()
$fi = [System.IO.FileInfo]::new('D:\Renci.SshNet.dll')
# There is a infinite hangup
$client.Upload($fi, 'file')
I tried to debug this problem and found that when I comment out UploadTimes(channel, input, file);
https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/blob/develop/src/Renci.SshNet/ScpClient.NET.cs#L196
It works
Seems, mikrotik do not support UploadTimes at all. It creates file name with timestamp name
Is there any method to disable times support for some connections except commenting it out and have customized library?

Research direction
Start in src/Renci.SshNet/ScpClient.NET.cs at ScpClient.Upload and the UploadTimes(channel, input, file) call, then reproduce the hang with the provided MikroTik and PowerShell example. Determine how timestamp handling behaves for this connection and verify that an upload completes without hanging while preserving existing behavior for supported servers.
