Most likely ... your ftp'ing into a virtual user most likely, though you may be named the same thing, the virtual user is setup to run as the same user id as your webserver (so it doesn't have ownership/permission issues with files)
Your ssh account on the other hand is not the same user as the webserver and if it was this would be somewhat bad policy wise (potentially all the ssh users could then have access to your webserver's family jewels)
If your intent on seeing where the httpdocs REALLY are you need only look to the webserver's environmental variables for DOCUMENT_ROOT or what not (just dump the entire ENV to the screen to see) it might be something lilke "/cust/webfarm/u/unix.com/httpdocs/" from looking there. then you can ssh to the server and "cd "/cust/webfarm/u/unix.com/httpdocs/" and get a permission denied.
This would because you could access things like SQL database passwords and what not.
Things could be setup otherways, obviously your hosting website has some documentation for this or support.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
