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.

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.

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'.
