isn't there an rpm?  i'd be surprised if not.  if so,

rpm -i openssl.rpm
rpm -i zlib.rpm

rpm -i openssh.rpm

jay, i haven't used rpm based distros in a long time, but if installing ssh
on your machine is any more complicated than what i've outlined up here,
then you should really consider debian.  installing ssh is even EASIER
than

        rpm -i openssl.rpm
        rpm -i ssh.rpm

in fact, on debian, you install ssh by:

        apt-get install ssh
