Uhm... An FTP client is a userspace program, not a kernel module. The
kernel is a specialised piece of software that deals with dividing
scarce resources (CPU time, disk access, network access) to processes
and protecting those processes from each other. The kernel is NOT an
environment to solve whatever userspace problem you might have.

talking about an FTP client.

SSH is not a requirement to run an FTP client.
