As you asked:
The main functionality that i need is copying files, which of the lib is recommended?
I think SCP or SFTP might solve your problem, and yes, the two subsystems are both supported by libssh and libssh2.
However one of the main differences is that you can't implement server side applications with libssh2, so pick up libssh instead.

The difference mentioned in https://www.libssh2.org/libssh2-vs-libssh.html is nowadays almost outdated. There i believe was a time when libssh2 was more preferred but today libssh support new age cyphers like AES-GCM.
