CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 253

A customer calls a technician and needs to remotely connect to a web server to change some code manually. The technician needs to configure the user's machine with protocols to connect to the Unix web server, which is behind a firewall. Which of the following protocols does the technician MOST likely need to configure?

Answer options

• A. SSH
• B. SFTP
• C. HTTPS
• D. SNMP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is SSH, as it allows secure remote access to the Unix web server for code modifications. SFTP is used for secure file transfers, HTTPS is for secure web traffic, and SNMP is for network management, which are not suitable for the task of directly connecting to the server for code changes.
