Comment:

 '''Webhost A'''

 > I have SSH/SFTP access but the ssh2 extension is not installed.

 Then SSH access is not possible, Due to there being no Pure-PHP
 implementation of a SSH Filesystem client at the time of writing, I'll
 take a look at that Net_SSH2 module, But it seems like its a rather heavy
 Implementation of it.

 > Also, although I don't have FTP access, the ftp extension is installed

 Then using FTP is not possible due to the server not supporting it.

 '''Webhost B'''

 > I do not have an SSH account but the ssh2 extension is installed. I do,
 however, have an FTP account, but because Wordpress doesn't let you pick
 and chose which method you want to use, I can't use it. Wordpress is only
 prompting me for SFTP information and I believe it should instead be
 asking you which method you want to use - not auto-detect it.

 The Screen for all FTP Methods(That includes SSH) has an option of which
 type of connection to use. "FTP, FTPS, SSH" (SSH only if its supported)
