Oh to add to this, the corruption only happened when I was using a
buffer size larger than what libssh2's write packet size limit was
(32*1024 I believe was the limit)
it would say it was splitting up the writes, I had it set to 128*1024
for buffer size. Once I set it to 32*1024 or lower I no longer had
files corrupting when going to this OS X server.
