FTP vrs. Secure Shell

How exactly is a secure shell connection more secure the a FTP connection? Why do they say its bad to leave FTP open?

Everything between an SSH Client -> SSH Server is encrypted...
Everything between an FTP Client -> FTP Server is not...

There are secure versions of the FTP protocol around though...

Juge is there an option for auto-detect the type before sending or anything? Most FTP programs will have something to detect Binary vs Ascii, but I have never used Cute FTP.

So what about website passwords? For example when you log into your admin area with your browser...is the login/password sent in plain text as well?

Unless your admin area is on a secure server (URL starts with https://) then it's sent as plain text as well.
