You're right of course, and no need to apologize at all.
In my post I didn't mean to ask people to show me the gory details
of how to use SSH or SSL.
I believe the original poster asked about differences in SSH vs. SSL
when used as a remote login solution.
What I was just asking is different in some respect. All I needed to know
is if I can use any of those for securing communication between a client
and server program, and the general idea of how to do it.
But more important than the *how* is: which is more suitable for this kind
of thing.

Anyway, thank you for your comments..
