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/

If you don't have PyXPCOM already installed, you can install the 
"PythonExt" extension to get Python XPCOM capabilities.

More details on the extension are here, including a SSH Console extension:

Cheers,
Todd
