Hey Guys,

I posted this query on the dev-extensions group and they suggested I
post it here.

Am brand new to writing extensions for Firefox. I was looking at
FireFTP and it looked like it didnt have support for Sftp. So I
thought I would try and write one.

I did go through quite a few pages on "How to write extensions". My
question though is that most pages suggest writing it in Javascript.
There was just 1 page which mentioned we could use Python or C++. I
found a couple of SSH API's that I could use for C++ and Python but
none for Javascript.

So what do you suggest? Do you think it'll be possible to use these
C++/Python API's for development of an extension or will there be a
problem?Here's the links BTW:

C++ --> http://netsieben.com/products/sshlib/
Python --> http://www.lag.net/paramiko/

The dev-extensions group also suggested that I use NSS API's. Would
this be the best one to go with or is there anything better?Await your
replies.

Thanks
Arvind
