Yes it does. There's also scp, which is generally what I use. I was just
qualifying that not every tcp service can be tunnelled, not whether or not
there was a better way :).

For instance, a better way for secure pop from your provider is pop over
ssl. While the ssh tunnel is likely to be more secure, pop over ssl doesn't
require any client setup on the server side and servers and clients already
have the capabilities builtin. The problem is that ISPs won't offer it.
Stupid ISPs.
