Configuration

Blink v18.1.1.979 (TestFlight), iOS 18.3.2

Describe the bug

Trying to create a new file or modify an existing file in the Blink file provider fails. The log shows "SFTP server: Permission denied". Modifying or creating the file over SSH in the Blink app works as expected, and creating new folders or deleting files via Files.app also works as expected. Uploading a file via the macOS sftp client works as well.

Edit: In fact, trying to edit an existing file deletes (!!!!!) the file on the remote server. Good thing I have backups.

Expected behavior

Modifying files in the remote storage via the File Provider works.
