Does FTPS encrypt data packets at the hardware or software level?

I have a question regarding SSL/TLS, and specifically the FTPS protocol. Under normal circumstances, when data packets are sent or retrieved by the client, are the packets encrypted at the hardware or the software level, and why does it matter?
