libssh2 is hanging during a file transfert

[Micka]

I don't see a problem, my MTU is at the default value = 1500,

but when I look at the trace from libssh2,

packet type 4 received,  => SSH_MSG_DEBUG
packet type 91 received,  => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION
packet type 93 received, => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST
packet type 99 received, => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS
packet type 98 received, => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST
packet type 96 received, => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_EOF
packet type 97 received, => SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE ==> why ?


and in the log sshd, I've some strange line :

Jul  7 11:52:16 TOTO sshd[19553]: debug1: session_exit_message: release
channel 0
Jul  7 11:52:16 TOTO sshd[19553]: debug2: channel 0: write failed
