Yes. You are correct. It works with those steps in Linux.
But in windows once I have read from the forwarded channel and written the
response from my local socket to the channel, I am not able to read from
that channel further.
readbytes = libssh2_channel_read(channel,buf,4096);
The above function returns -37 which is LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN continuously.
