RSM 0.10.2 with paramiko 1.15.2 connecting to GlobalScape SFTP server fails

[nrejac]

When connecting to a GlobalScape SFTP server, placing a file in anywhere other than the home directory generates an error (identifying information removed):

Research shows this is a known problem with paramiko when the server does not support

df -hi

like GlobalScape:

Additional console output below demonstrating that changing to a directory and attempting to list it fails. Only the home directory can be listed. Note that the following operation succeeds when performed in the console using the standard SFTP command.

Recommend fix at this time is to combine GSM with a shell script that moves the file to appropriate location.
