Openssh Questions

I was reading about Openssh and I have the following question, it will be helpful if some one help me:

  1. What is the difference between ssh and slogin ?

  2. What is the difference between scp and sftp ?

  3. Does sshd (on server side) provide separate server processes to handle each client (ssh , slogin , sftp , scp) type requests or just one process for all client types ?

  4. is the secure shell a standalone shell like bash ...etc or just a process that encrypt/decrypts traffic and communicate to ordinary bash process locally ?

Thanks
