I actually discovered this today... Anyway, it took me only 10 minutes to
port NcFTP so I didn't waste too much time ;-) (It was just a matter of
including one line in a header-file) The problem was to compile ncurses
4.1 properly, I had a bad gcc-setup so I had to tinker with it for a few
hours. 

Btw. the other NcFTP 2.4.2 is compiled with ncurses 1.9-something, while
mine is compiled with 4.1. I couldn't notice any difference though, except
that mine (I.e. the 4.1-port) had a slightly smaller binary. No difference
in speed or practical use.

I'm still working on ssh, but I'm quite new to this porting-stuff and ssh
is rather complex so it might take some time. I'm considering porting the
Amiga-version instead, it's a lot more compact so it might be easier. If
somebody with more experience wants to give it a try, please do so as I
really want ssh :-)
