Secure copy (SCP) is a protocol that allows the encrypted transfer of content on the Internet. SCP uses Secure Shell (SSH) to provide authentication and encryption for the data transfer. SCP can be used to copy files between local and remote hosts, or between two remote hosts.Reference: Unable to provide specific references due to browsing limitations.

I thought HTTP was supposed to be secure now?

I feel like Remote copy might be similar to Secure copy, but I can't recall if it has encryption features.

I’m a bit confused about SMB. I know it’s used for file sharing, but does it encrypt data during transfer?

I remember practicing with a question that asked about HTTP and HTTPS. I think HTTP is not encrypted, but HTTPS is.

I think Secure copy is the one that allows encrypted transfers, but I'm not entirely sure about the others.

I'm a little unsure about the differences between some of these options. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I get this right.

Okay, I know we covered protocols like SSL and TLS that provide encrypted data transfer. I'll start there and see if I can eliminate the other options.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol? More like Hackers' Touchdown Protocol, amirite? I'll take the secure option, thanks.

Yeah, HTTP is definitely not the best option for secure transfers. Secure copy all the way.

I'm going with B. Secure copy. Because who wants their content transferred without a little security, am I right? *winks*

Secure copy (SCP) sounds like the way to go. Can't go wrong with a protocol that's literally named 'secure'.

HTTP? Really? That's as secure as a wet paper bag. Where's the option for HTTPS? That's the one I'd choose.
