No idea what you are talking about. ssh encrypts everything passing between
the two computers.
We're talking about SFTP, which is a variant how to use SSH to secure the
FTP protocol. In the SFTP setup, the protection by SSH is only applied to
the data transfer channel.

Do you have any URL to some documentation of this "SFTP" protocol?

Oh, and while we're at it:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS>, which discussed the difference between implicit and explicit SSL mode on FTP-SSL.
