I don't know anything about the libssh2 extension but you could simply
use popen to call scp. To validate the file was transferred successfully
you could then follow up with a call to popen and a command like:

 ssh host.foo.net "ls -l file.txt"

and then parse the size from the output and compare it to the local
file size.
