Question regarding call of stat() for parent dir #36
Description
Hello,
while using sshfs in fsspec.open_files(), I discovered that stat() is called for the parent directory of the wanted files, even if it is already clear that this must be a directory. While this is most certainly not an issue for most cases, the sftp server I have to use behaves somewhat strange regarding this, as I get a permission error when trying to call stat() on these directories.
When using the default sftp implementation from fsspec there is no issue at all, so at least for me it seems that it should be possible without a call to stat(). Is there any way to achieve this with this library as well? I really like to use it because of performance reasons compared to sftp. Thank you!
