Hi, I am extremely sorry for the mess because of digest. I receive the mails in digest and replied to it.(I hope current reply is in correct format). I am using libssh2 1.2.4 version on RHEL 5.3 platform and recently using 1.2.7/8 to verify. I have been able to solve the issue. It was mistake in my code which didn't handle partial writes(in case of window adjust) If libssh2_channel_write wrote only partial of what was asked, I was looping the same buffer as the previous instead of incrementing pointer by the size of written bytes. However as previously asked,I would like to understand following excerpt from scp_write_nonblock.c rc = libssh2_channel_write(channel, ptr, nread);                 if(rc > nread) {                     fprintf(stderr, "MOO %d > %d\n", (int)rc, (int)nread);                 } In what scenarios rc would be greater than nread, is it error condition(MOO??), if yes how to handle it. While I understand your point about the ssh flow diagram not being absolute must for client developers, but it would certainly  improve the understanding/knowledge while writing application and to participate in libssh2 development as well. So if anyone has such information please share it. Thanks a lot for your patience and support.

We cannot have this discussion if you're going to totally destroy both threading and quoting in every mail you send here. Also, I did ask you questions about version and platform that I consider vital for this issue. > I am getting this (rc > nread) in some cases and after that libssh2_channel_write always returns 0, eventually hanging the process. A hang would indicate a bug somewhere. --  / daniel.haxx.se
