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..
