Well to start off, you need to get the most current versions. I use SSH2 which is backwards compatible with SSH.

You can get SSH2 here The file that you want is called ssh-2.4.0.tar.gz.

You can get the latest version of MYSQL here The current version is 3.23.

Once you get the files you can unpack them like this:
tar -xvfz ssh-2.4.0.tar.gz

Once you run this, it will unpack your files and create a directory for them.

The first thing that I always do is read the README for installation information. Most of the time the process is going to go like this.
Run a configure script, usually called configure. You run the script like this: ./configure This creates a makefile that is run by typing in make. Once the makefile is run, you can run a makeinstall. Once the file is installed, you need to consult the documentation that came with it for configuring it.

Good luck and post back here when problems arise.
