Hello,

Consider the output of buffer_get like a char [] type string, except it 
is not nul terminated.
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/assign.html
Look at string::assign(const char *s, size_t n);

I's much like a C++ problem you've got. The next release of libssh will 
have a more classical channel_read() which won't require a BUFFER object.
