Here are my doubts about the easiness of this: Let's say you use the FTP implementation in Firefox (I assume you want to do this). When the you attempt to initiate a FTP connection, Firefox's FTP code will attempt toe establish a socket connection using the socket objects provided by Mozilla/NSPR. Usually, you would do that through a socket provider object. Both the socket and socket provider objects have XPCOM interfaces that describe them.
However, you want to make the FTP code use a special socket object, which implements a secure shell, right? For this, you would need to implement a new socket provider. I personally don't know how you would define a new socket provider and get FTP to obtain a socket from that provider through through a Firefox extension. You might have to modify the FTP code itself, I'm not sure. Again, my knowledge of Firefox extensions is limited. Also, there might be something about SSH that I am missing.
