Just a note there:
I imagine that if you install and make your users use ssh, it's because
you do not want the passwords of the users to be visible through the net,
isn't it?
Other than that, you propose the use of ftp, which uses non-ciphered
communication. Well, all the passwords that were not visible with ssh are
now visible with ftp.

I don't know how to do it. Sorry.

Maybe, but you'll have to wait to some more complete response.
