Colin Baumgarten 3154a4ab8d sftpserver: Fix client messages being ignored if sent at a high rate
When using OpenSSH scp to read files larger than a few hundred
kilobytes, downloads stall and never finish. A workaround is to
pass -Xnrequests=1 to scp, which will cause scp to only do a
single concurrent SFTP read request at a time.

The cause for the problem is that if SFTP client messages are
received at a high rate, sftp_channel_default_data_callback() will
potentially be called with multiple messages in the incoming data
buffer, but only the first message will be extracted and handled.

So add a loop to extract as many SFTP client messages as available
from the incoming data buffer.

 The SSH library

Why?

Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol because i didn't like the currently public ones. Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library, and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing in the free and open source software world.

How/Who?

If you downloaded this file, you must know what it is : a library for accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner. Everybody can use this software under the terms of the LGPL - see the COPYING file

If you ask yourself how to compile libssh, please read INSTALL before anything.
