Comment(by blazerlocal):

 I think they're actually a little inseparable.  Right now, if the
 fsockopen function is available and the ftp / ssh2 extensions aren't, FTP
 will be used automatically (see get_filesystem_method in wp-
 admin/includes/file.php).  If you have an SFTP implementation that uses
 fsockopen, as well, then you have ambiguity.  Do you do FTP or SFTP?  The
 server could arbitrarily assume one over the other or it could present the
 user with a choice.

 That said, I didn't know about the FS_METHOD constant - thanks!
