Is it normal to have no error on fastGet when a local path does not exist?

See original GitHub issue

I am using fastGet to download files from a remote SFTP. I have made some tests and unintentionally insert a non-existent path into localPath parameter.

When my code runs the path does not exist so the file was not downloaded

client.fastGet('/server/remote-path/file.zip', '/tmp/nonexistent-local-test-path/file.zip')

Is it ok? Could not have some kind of error or warning for the user knows that the file will not be downloaded?

I should have also mentioned that until a fix is available from ssh2, you could add a path test and verify the destination path before calling fastGet(). If the issue cannot be resolved in the ssh2 module itself, I will likely add such a test to ssh2-sftp-client. However, I think it is better to wait and get a response from the ssh2 author before I do this.
