This is what I had originally interpreted it to mean, but, when I
tested it, even if my application did not call libssh2_sftp_write
again with the remaining 170K, the whole 200K still show up on the
server, even though the function only returned 30K on the first call.
That is, the amount of data it reported sending was less than what
actually showed up on the server.
