Comment (by knuthmorris):

 @jnewmano: It's already been done.  And the plugin itself is pretty
 straight forward.  The complicated part was creating a pure-PHP
 implementation of SSH / SFTP and that's already been done, too.
 blazerlocal elaborates why the php ssh2 extension is deficient:

 In addition to the reasons blazerlocal elaborated upon phpseclib is also,
 quite simply, more feature packed.  It can capture logs for you, lets you
 resume uploads, has its own implementation of expect, supporting both
 literal string matching and regular expression string matching, etc.

 And let's not forget the biggest advantage of phpseclib: it works out of
 the box.
