No more than SSH does, on its own. But if you want an equivalent
set of "and friends" that don't over-complicate things with
unnecessary security, look through the programs in GNU Inetutils.
Plus Rsync isn't just an "ssh tool" at all, as the OP suggested - I
frequently use the Rsync protocol which is unencrypted, and if you
use Rsh instead of Telnet that can work with Rsync unencrypted too.
I also use FTP a lot.
