Make sure your path is correct. If it is, and your code still does not work, please instruct Tiny SFTP Server to log at Debug level and copy&paste the log here.
I just gave this a try and was unable to reproduce the issue. The file was created successfully. I used this C++ code for the client and compiled it on Linux using gcc upload.cpp -lssh2 -o upload
command. The app succeeded and created an empty file. My Tiny SFTP Server log looks like this:
