Description

When working with SFTP based on Cerberus SSH.NET gets "SSH_FX_NO_SUCH_FILE" when trying to list root directory. User have all the required permissions. Verified with Filezilla client, WinSCP client. Run the very last commit of SSH.NET. To prove that the issue is indeed in SSH.NET - I imported WinSCP nuget package: everything works fine with it.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing root-directory listing against a Cerberus SFTP server and compare the result with FileZilla, WinSCP, and the referenced Stack Overflow case. Done means SSH.NET can list the root directory while preserving behavior for other SFTP servers.
