Something like:
ssize_t libssh2_scp_send_recursive(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char
*src_path, const char *dst_path);
It should open a channel internally with the given session, read
recursively from source directory and send the directories and files
using D, E, C & T scp protocol messages. The modes for D & C messages,
lengths for C messages and atimes & mtimes for T messages can be read
from local filesystem.
Return value: No. of bytes transferred or negative on failure.
Errors: appropriate LIBSSH2_ERROR_*
We may need a function like scp_send in scp.c with "scp -rt " option in
scpSend_command and mechanism to loop on src_path recursively and
sending appropriate protocol messages and file data.
Thank you.

Sunjith
