Comment:

 This sounds good to me, I've recently moved to a VPS which doesnt use
 suExec, and doesnt have FTP available, I was going to look into some form
 of SSH based connection - i wasnt aware there was a php ssh module though.

 I'll join in with some testing this weekend.

 Changing the FTP Credentials page to select between them if Direct
 filesystem access isnt available would be my suggestion, Something like
 this at the top of the page perhaps?:
 {{{
  o FTP  o FTPS  o SSH  o ..anyother methods..
  Hostname: ..
  Username: ..
  Password: ..
 }}}
 FTPS would be the Secure form of FTP, and only available transports would
 be shown(which might require a few changes to other parts of the current
 code)
