Hope this helps...

The ogr2ogr program can load both file formats into PostGIS, see
http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html

the shp2pgsql which comes with PostGIS can generate an SQL file from a
shapefile which will load the shapefile into a PostGIS table.

The desktop GIS QGIS (www.qgis.org) also has a plugin which can load a
shapefile into a PostGIS table.
