Steps to reproduce

Running OpenSSH on Windows Server 2016. Using Renci.SSHNet as sftp client. Trying to use Renci SSHNet SFTP to transfer files to a directory share on the OpenSSH server.
ChrootDirectory /FileDrop

doesn't work.
Nor does //FileDrop
Nor does /
and then using SFTP to change to /FileDrop or //FileDrop

How to use a mapped network directory e.g. c:\AllDroppedFiles shared as /FileDrop ? OpenSSH service will not even start when ChrootDirectory in sshd_config file is set to /FileDrop or //FileDrop etc
Only paths I can get to work seem to be true paths on a drive e.g. c:\AllDroppedFiles will work.

Expected behavior

shared network directory works e.g. on OpenSSH server user has permissions to network share

Actual behavior

No such file error - cannot drop to network shared directory

Error details

No such file

This is because you are trying to access a file share, there are currently issues with accessing and authenticating to a file share over ssh.
