Daniel, I did run curl now with libssh2 debug and it seems to be another error than the mentioned one in libssh2-devel.
[libssh2] Failure Event: -25 - Packet contains more data than we offered to receive, truncating The client is requesting in maximal 16384 bytes with SSH_FXP_READ, but receives 16397 bytes, which shouldn't happen. So I guess it is a server bug or is there any requirement of the length given in SSH_FXP_READ being smaller by a set amount (e.g. 13 bytes for some headers ?) than LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_PACKET_DEFAULT ? If I change the max length in the SSH_FXP_READ to if (bytes_requested > buffer_maxlen -13) { bytes_requested = buffer_maxlen -13; } I get the file. (13 is based on seen read bytes (16397) - request bytes (16384) = 13 and comments about 13 bytes of header length) Markus BTW: The server identifies itself with debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version 1.36_sshlib afts.
