Issue Description

We have a new service whos sftp server is giving me an error when uploading "error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp.**" from what I've found you need to use new-winscptransferoption and new-winscpitempermission however I've not been able to get them to work

Example

$transOptions = New-WinSCPTransferOption -PreserveTimestamp:$false -FilePermissions (New-WinSCPItemPermission -UserRead -UserWrite -GroupRead -OtherRead)

Send-WinSCPItem -WinSCPSession $session -Path $srcStuHmLang -Destination $filename -TransferOptions $transOptions 


Send-WinSCPItem : WinSCP.SessionRemoteException: **Upload of file 'ParentSquare_Student-HmLang-Cell.csv' was successful, but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp.**
If the problem persists, turn off setting permissions or preserving timestamp. Alternatively you can turn on 'Ignore permission errors' option.
The server does not support the operation.
Error code: 8
Error message from server (US-ASCII): SETSTAT unsupported

Lets see if we can figure this out, I haven't seen this exact issue, I also don't have an AWS sub, so its going to be hard for me to test.

first, can you update to the latest WinSCP PowerShell Module Version, 5.17.2.0, you are quite a few versions behind.
if you downloaded it from the powershell gallery, just do Update-Module WinSCP
else you can grab it from the releases section here on the project page.

next, try just using the transfer options, I don't think you need to change the permissions at all

$transOptions = New-WinSCPTransferOption -PreserveTimestamp:$false

lte me know how it goes. thanks.

That appears to have allowed the transfer when I ran a small portion of the script but running the entire script I now get a new error:

`New-WinSCPSession: Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "The version of C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\WinSCP\5.17.2.0\Public..\bin\winscp.exe (5.17.2.0) does not match version of this assembly
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\WinSCP\5.13.9.1\lib\WinSCPNet.dll (5.13.9.0)."
At E:\ParentSquare\PS\ParentSquare.ps1:51 char:16

• $Session = New-WinSCPSession -SessionOption $SessionOptions

you need to close and reopen your console, the old dll is still loaded. you can also just go delete C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\WinSCP\5.13.9.1 if you want to be sure
