no it's not ssl - it's a packet based thing sent over a TCP stream - there 
are two different protocols SSH1 and SSH2 - most people use SSH1 for which 
there are 2 code bases - the original which is not GPL and the openssh 
project's which is - it would be possible to do an scp-protocol based ioslave 
- internally the differences between scp and ssh are pretty trivial

scp itself is a pretty simple program that fork/execs ssh's to do all the 
hard work - rather than getting into the protocol level you might look at the 
scp source in the openssh distro and see if you can crib that
