Basically multithreading is not supported in libssh2 at this time.

Fine, but..

..only one channel at a time can ever be used, and most importantly -
note that you must drain the SSH-protocol-level packet completely in
libssh2 before you can reliably allow another thread to use it's
channel.

If you are using non-blocking libssh2 calls this is difficult for
outgoing data, since you must track the progress of each data buffer
that you send out via libssh2.

Using blocking mode it may be easier, but I am not sure if it will
make a difference for you.

Give it a shot.
