hi,
ssl means "secure socket layer" & it is used eveywhere, where you want to secure your data traveling on net. you are right that it is used in sftp, shtmp (secure htmp), and where you want to apply it. for that secure layer we have secure port & in this port data is traveling on net. you can read secure data socket pages for more details.
ssh means "secure server host" & it is basically used in unix base OS like linux, HP UX, IBM AIX, and more unix flavour. Using ssh you can access network computer in your network in unix platform. In windows XP we have same concept like "Desktop sharing & Remote Desktop". microsoft copy this unix base idea in his MS OS.
If you want to know about more like concept than you can read Remote Desktop help pages in your Windows XP help. just press "F1"
Good luck!!!!!!

ssl is basically a secure protocol used in transmitting private data over the internet (like cc#'s) securely using encryption keys.
ssh is a protocol used to remotely control computers, similar to telnet, however it uses encryption keys which telnet does not (making telnet very insecure)
