It depends. If you do use firewall and can manage to make the ssh port open 
only to the local network (perhaps the right way to say it would be 
192.168.1.0/24 range), or maybe you are always behind a router (so your 
computer is inaccessible from outside the local network), then why bother 
stopping sshd after the transfer is complete?

And if you do not use firewall, and do sometimes get an external ip address, 
then you might be safer to stop any service you do not use while in the open 
internet.
