I've created a SFTP protocol handler for Mozilla apps, that can be used
to provide SSH connection services, to be used in the same way as other
protocols such as FTP are used.
The SFTP protocol handler is written in Python, making use of the
excellent Paramiko SSH2 libraries, so in order to use this extension
you'll also be required to install the Python Mozilla bindings (PyXPCOM).
What you can do with this SSH protocol handler:
* show file-listings using a SFTP connection
* download/upload files over SFTP
* run remote SSH commands
* create and interact with a remote SSH session
The extension is available from MozDev, see the "SFTP and SSH Protocol"
here:
https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/pyxpcomext/
You'll first need to install the "PythonExt" extension in order to have
the Python XPCOM capabilities.
More details on the extension are here, including a SSH Console extension:

Cheers,
Todd
