I tried all that before writing to the list =/ No success.

I use

        while (libssh2_channel_close(channel) == LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN);
        while (libssh2_channel_wait_closed(channel) == LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN);

From the manual page:

       libssh2_channel_close

       Close an active data channel. In practice this means sending an
       SSH_MSG_CLOSE packet to the remote host which serves as instruction
       that no further data will be sent to it. The remote host may still
       send data back until it sends its own close message in response. To
       wait for the remote end to close its connection as well, follow
       this command with libssh2_channel_wait_closed(3)

Is SSH_MSG_CLOSE is the same as SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE?
