Huh?
SCP uses the SSH protocol to transfer data, SSH encrypts the connection, SCP uses the same method of connection, but transfers data across it, rather than a shell.. The same applies to SSHFS.
I am not sure exactly what you want to know...

If you need the base info about scp:
Quote:
The SCP protocol is a network protocol, based on the BSD RCP protocol, which supports file transfers between hosts on a network. SCP uses Secure Shell (SSH) for data transfer and utilizes the same mechanisms for authentication, thereby ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of the data in transit. A client can send (upload) files to a server, optionally including their basic attributes (permissions, timestamps). Clients can also request files or directories from a server (download). SCP runs over TCP port 22 by default. Like RCP, there is no RFC that defines the specifics of the protocol.
