No. Don't confuse libcurl's buffer size with the maximum size libssh2 may
use or even what it accepts.
But I can see in the trace that libssh2 is using a buffer of this size to do
the writing:
SFTP: Writing 16384 bytes
So, when libcurl does SFTP transfer with libssh2, this CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
is the maximum buffer size libssh2 uses, isn't it?
Yes it is, but that's basically an artifact of how libssh2 works and not
strictly libcurl's fault. A future libssh2 version could very well change that
(and hopefully it will since the strict relation is a shortcoming mostly).
Besides, that 32K is the *maximum* size SFTP allows and that an implementation
should support. It can of course still use smaller sizes as much as it likes.
