Just a thought: does it work if the target directory name doesn't 
include spaces?

I've just tried that. It still fails.

Is it possible to dump the decrypted sftp commands? I tried -vvv but found
nothing interesting.

The Total Commander plugin calls:

    libssh2_sftp_setstat(ConnectSettings->sftpsession,
    					thename,&attr)

What does the command line client use?

Previously I was using Total Commander with SFTP plugin and it does preserve
mtime. https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm

When I try to do the same from command line it fails.

    $ sftp -p user at server <<< 'put
MRW_PM_Series_17146_PSSF_T1_HB.zip "/0_GLS to be
automated/2024_batch_Q3/"'
    
    (user at server) Enter password: credentials to continue
    Connected to server.
