CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 68

A security engineer is building a file transfer solution to send files to a business partner. The users would like to drop off the files in a specific directory and have the server send the file to the business partner. The connection to the business partner is over the internet and needs to be secure. Which of the following can be used?

Answer options

• A. S/MIME
• B. LDAPS
• C. SSH
• D. SRTP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

SSH is the correct answer because it provides a secure channel over an unsecured network, ideal for file transfers. S/MIME is used for email encryption, LDAPS is for secure directory services, and SRTP is for securing voice and video streams, making them unsuitable for file transfer in this context.
