CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 20

Which of the following should an administrator use to transfer log files from a Linux server to a Windows workstation?

Answer options

• A. Telnet
• B. Robocopy
• C. XCOPY
• D. SCP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, SCP, as it is specifically designed for secure file transfer over SSH, making it suitable for transferring files between different operating systems. Options A (Telnet) is not secure and is primarily used for remote command execution, while B (Robocopy) and C (XCOPY) are Windows-specific commands that cannot be used directly to transfer files from a Linux environment.
