Issue with SFTP sites that do not allow LIST permission (e.g. Write only)

I found a similar thread in these forums from 2018 but it didn't go anywhere.

I have an issue where I'm trying to set up an SFTP server (using Azure). I only want connecting clients to be able to upload files, but not see existing files in the directory. I am able to set the permissions accordingly to only allow WRITE privileges. LIST is unselected.

However, it seems WinSCP is having issues with this scenario. When I connect to the server, it immediately tries to do a list, and is denied leading to a nasty error dialog. However, if I dismiss the dialog, it does appear I am able to upload a file. Unfortunately after each upload, WinSCP throws this error dialog about being unable to list contents of the directory.

Is there any way to suppress this error?
