Definitly - I simply scratched my itch by reading the docs at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13 and
libssh2-includes for the minimum I needed to implement a
working version as fast as possible.

I now took a look at what is there, and FWIW I think we should use stat to
gather the necessary informations (possibly not up the path as it is now
done, but down the path, as it is likely that directories down the path
already exist), and attempt creation only after checking what
libssh2_sftp_stat returns.

I think I can't help with anything concerning the state-machine, but I would
reimplement sftp_create_dirs accordingly if that's ok with you.
