Encrypted file system over Internet

If I understand on-the-fly-encryption correctly, I assume that information I read or write to a remote encrypted file container will be protected since cryptographic operations are performed in RAM on my local machine. Is this correct? Is there any need for encryption services for the actual network connection beyond the scope of authentication? Plainly, is my data safe (confidential) when it travels to and from my local machine when I access an encrypted partition on another machine through the Internet?
