Then on the second iteration of the while loop (assuming `bytesWritten == MAX_XFER_BUF_SIZE`) you'll do a `sftp_write()` pointing to a `char` buffer of size 1, but which incorrectly states that the size is `MAX_XFER_BUF_SIZE`.

Maybe we can deduce the server buffer size based on the `bytesWritten` value : at init `serv_buffer_size =MAX_XFER_BUF_SIZE; ` and then ` if (length > bytesWritten) { serv_buffer_size = bytesWritten }` and use `serv_buffer_size` instead of MAX_XFER_BUF_SIZE in the loop.
