Hi Lars,
I had reported same issue around 8-9 months back. Please refer this mail
thread: http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2014-06/0001.shtml
Is anybody already looking into this issue to fix?
Thanks
Nitin

But the code is just returning one packet of data, ie 2000 bytes (as I get
all the time)
rc32 = _libssh2_ntohu32(data + 5);
...
if(rc32 > 0) {
/* we must return as we wrote some data to the buffer
*/
return rc32;
the buffer is just one chunk, from your explanation I thought I would find
something like:
outlen +=rc32
and a buffer-pointer slider through the receive-buffer in the
sftp_read() parameter.

My WireShark session tells different, I see a client package, and the 1 to 4
server packages, the output should be 10 client packages asking for data (or
maybe only one??) and then 10 server packages (using your example)
I will try to read the code and add some debug.
My 76M file transfers in 44 minutes using SFTP_read, 81s using SecureCRT
SFTP_read and 12s using scp...
