PHP - Moved: Ssh2

I have this problem where I make an ssh2 connection in this class, use it several times, and then it breaks, as in, further calls that use that resource fail. What happens is I make several ssh2_scp_recv() calls, then I call:
Code: [Select]
$stream = ssh2_exec(EX_SFTP::$connection, "date --utc -r conf/au.conf  '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'; echo __COMMAND_FINISHED__");That succeeds, then $stream is read, and the command is determined to be finished when "__COMMAND_FINISHED__" is parsed. (The only thing done w/$stream is that it is passed to fread() and strlen(). It isn't closed, or anything)
Now the next thing I do is call ssh2_scp_send(), which results in an exception whose message is "ssh2_scp_send(): Failure creating remote file". The reason I think the connection somehow wore out is that a boorish solution I tried was to reconnect to the server every time I use EX_SFTP::$connection. So only using fresh connections is an answer, but I can do better than that. Unfortunately, I don't know of any reliable way to test the health of a connection.

I've got a little php script here at work that used to log into a SSH server and grab some log files and show them in a web browser.  Simple stuff.  Recently we've changed the login on the servers to use our VPN tokens instead of a password that I pick for my account.  We can use authorized keys which works fine for me in putty and I'm trying to set that up because I keep getting prompted for user and password the "old" way.   I'm using ssh2_auth_pubkey_file and been reading the manual about it but I can't seem to get it to work   I make my connection as follows  

$connection = ssh2_connect($serverHost, 22, array('hostkey'=>'ssh-rsa'));

  Then setup the auth_pubkey.  There is no passphrase or anything I use with putty so i left that part out  

$result = ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($connection, 'username','/path/to/id_rsa.pub','/path/to/id_rsa');

  the information in my id_rsa.pub file matches what's in authorized_keys on the server in my username/.ssh dir   I'm not 100% what else to check for?  Anyone have any tips Thanks  

I am trying to use SSH2 functions in PHP and I read the documentation for each LIBSSH2, OpenSSL and PECL SSH2 and I can't figure out how to install any of them on the Windows Server X64 box. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
