nope, scp is in SSH 1 and 2 of the protocols. sftp is a cross between scp and ftp over an SSL tunnel.. the sftp protocol is not identical to the FTP protocol, but for all intensive purposes it works like ftp over ssl... I think you can ssh into a box and type "sftpserve", and then send and recieve commands.. this is how the command line and GUI tools like gftp (when it dosen't crash!) work..
ftp over ssl is another thing entirely.
definatly, and very messy imho ;)..
