SSH is its own application with a differenet goal than SSL. SSH is similar
to Telnet and RLOGIN and runs directly above TCP, using TCP port 22. Here's
what the FAQ on SSH says:

  Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a
  network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files
  from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and
  secure communications over insecure channels. It is intended as a
  replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp.

Here's what Webopaedia says about SSL:

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape for
transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public
key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Both
Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use
the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card
numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with
https: instead of http:.
