Try

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/sftp-server -l debug3

in sshd_config

I'm connecting to "EFT Server" https://www.globalscape.com/eft and
it has an SFTP module. It has nothing to do with OpenSSH, but enterprise likes
it for some reason. I don't control the server.

Looks like EFT doesn't support SSH2_FXP_FSETSTAT (working with a file
handle), but it does support SSH2_FXP_SETSTAT (working with a file path).
OpenSSH sftp only uses SSH2_FXP_FSETSTAT for directories. It doesn't have a
separate "touch" command to set mtime for a path and its
"chmod" command doesn't support that either.

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

Try

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/sftp-server -l debug3

in sshd_config

The Total Commander plugin calls:

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

What does the command line client use?

EFT Server.

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.

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