Assuming the remote SSH connection is valid, and that the method you used in your question works for single files, I believe your order of operations needs to be corrected.
As mentioned in my comments, your code appears to be attempting to use file_get_contents on a local directory, which is not permitted. It also appears you attempted the same on the $xmlstream, which must be performed per file, rather than directory. Assuming 'C:\\xml\\Race_' . $value; is a directory like C:\\xml\\Race_1 and not a file.
Some minor issues for validation of resources and Windows specific issues that need to be addressed:
Windows Directory Separators should be written as \\ (even when
using single quotes), since \ is an escape sequence
it causes \x \t \n \r \' \" \\ to be treated as special characters.
When using fopen($path, $mode) it is recommended to specify the b flag as the last character of the mode, to ensure the file is
binary-safe (verbatim) and to avoid ambiguity between operating systems. Alternatively on Windows specify the t mode to transparently translate \n to \r\n (only desirable for plain-text files).
$mode = 'rb' (binary-safe read) $mode = 'rt' (text-mode translation read)
When working with networking streams, it is recommended to test that the stream has successfully written all of its content. I provided the fwrite_stream function below from the PHP manual.
Example
try {
//--- example purposes only ---
//use your own ssh2_connnect, ssh2_auth_password, ssh2_sftp
if (!$ssh2 = ssh2_connect('192.168.56.101', 22)) {
throw new \RuntimeException('Unable to connect to remote host');

if (!ssh2_auth_password($ssh2, 'root', '')) {
throw new \RuntimeException('Unable to Authenticate');

if (!$sftp = ssh2_sftp($ssh2)) {

}
$value = '1';
//--- end example purposes only ---
$localFile_xml = 'C:\\xml\\Race_' . $value;
if (!$localFile_xml || !is_dir($localFile_xml)) {
throw new \RuntimeException('Unable to retrieve local directory');
}
//retrieve list of XML files
$iterator = new \GlobIterator($localFile_xml . '/*.xml',
\FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME |

$success = [];
$remote_XMLfiles = '/FTP/XML/Race_' . $value;
$remote_XMLpath = "ssh2.sftp://$sftp" . $remote_XMLfiles;
//ensure the remote directory exists
if (!@mkdir($remote_XMLpath, 0777, true) && !is_dir($remote_XMLpath)) {
throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Unable to create remote directory "%s"', $remote_XMLpath));
}
/**

foreach ($iterator as $filepath => $fileinfo) {
$filesize = $fileinfo->getSize();
printf("%s size %d\n", $filepath, $filesize);
try {
//open local file resource for binary-safe reading

printf("No data found for \"%s\"\n", $filepath);
continue;
}
} finally {
//shortcut to close the opened local file resource on success or fail
$xmlObj = null;
unset($xmlObj);
}
try {
$remote_filepath = $remote_XMLpath . '/' . $fileinfo->getBasename();
//open a remote file resource for binary-safe writing
//using current filename, overwriting the file if it already exists
if (!$xmlstream = fopen($remote_filepath, 'wb')) {
throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Unable to create remote file "%s"', $remote_filepath));
}

if (false !== ($bytes = fwrite_stream($xmlstream, $xmlData))) {

'remote_filepath' => $remote_filepath,
'bytes' => $bytes,

}
} finally {

if (isset($xmlstream) && is_resource($xmlstream)) {
fclose($xmlstream);
}
}
}
//testing purposes only to show the resulting uploads
if (!empty($success)) {
var_export($success);
}
} finally {
//shortcut to disconnect the ssh2 session on success or failure
$sftp = null;
unset($sftp);
if (isset($ssh2) && is_resource($ssh2)) {
ssh2_disconnect($ssh2);
}
}
/*
* Taken from PHP Manual
* Writing to a network stream may end before the whole string is written.
* Return value of fwrite() may be checked
*/
function fwrite_stream($fp, $string)
{
for ($written = 0, $writtenMax = strlen($string); $written < $writtenMax; $written += $fwrite) {
$fwrite = fwrite($fp, substr($string, $written));

NOTE
All file operations will be created using the ssh2_auth_password
user as the owner/group. You must ensure the specified user has read
and write access to the desired directories.
Use the appropriate file masks to ensure desired file/directory permissions
0777 (default) allows everyone to read, write, execute!0750 is typically desired for directories0640 is typically desired for individual files- use
chmod($path, 0750) to change permissions on the remote file(s)
- use
chown($path, 'user') to change the owner on the remote file(s)
- use
chgrp($path, 'group') to change the group on the remote file(s)
Result
C:\xml\Race_1\file1.xml size 9
