Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 14 discussion

Answer: SSH - SSH or (Secure Shell) is a protocol that enables two computers to communicate securely by encrypting the connection. Since the question is looking to transfer files over the internet to a specific directory, the FTP protocol can be used for the file transfer itself. As SSH can be used with the FTP protocol, this allows for secure(SSH) file transfer(FTP) over the internet. ======================== Other Choices: S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose internet Mail Extensions) - Digitally signs and encrypts the contents of email messages. LDAPS(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) - Provides authentication for directory-based traffic SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) - Provides authentication/encryption for transmitted audio and video traffic.

A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server is typically configured with several public directories, hosting files, and user accounts. SSH FTP (SFTP) LDAP Secure (LDAPS)—the server is installed with a digital certificate, which it uses to set up a secure tunnel for the user credential exchange. File transfer. Answer: SSH

SSH is a network protocol that provides secure remote access and file transfer capabilities. It encrypts the communication between the client and server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of the transferred data. SSH provides secure authentication and encryption mechanisms, making it suitable for secure file transfer scenarios. With SSH, the users can securely drop off the files in the specific directory on the server, and then the server can initiate a secure file transfer to the business partner using SSH's file transfer capabilities (e.g., SCP - Secure Copy or SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol).

SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that provides secure encrypted communication over an unsecured network, such as the internet. It is commonly used for secure remote access to servers and also for secure file transfer. In the given scenario, the security engineer can set up an SSH server on the destination server hosted by the business partner. The users from the company can then use an SSH client (such as OpenSSH) to securely transfer files to the specific directory on the business partner's server. Here's how the file transfer process works using SSH: 1. The business partner sets up an SSH server (SSH daemon) on their server. 2. The security engineer configures the server to allow secure file transfer (SCP/SFTP) using SSH. 3. Users from the company can use SSH clients like OpenSSH (or graphical SFTP clients) to securely connect to the business partner's server and transfer files to the designated directory. With SSH, the file transfer process is secure and encrypted, protecting the data in transit from eavesdropping and tampering.

i answered A on the test

SFTP is a file transfer protocol that uses SSH to create the secure connection.

SSH is a secure method of connecting to remote servers over a network because it encrypts data transmitted over a network.

I think its D , but the messed up the letters SFTP became SRTP! I dare you who have answered SSH to use the same answer when SFTP is next to it!

Actually, a better answer would be SFTP (SSH with FTP), but since this is not an alternative, I'll go with SSH.

C: LDAPS (B) is for authentication but that does not answer the question about the data transfer. SSH on the other hand can do both e.g. with user/password or better yet certificates.

The answer is SSH. SSH can be used to transfer data from one computer to another over internet. And it is a secure connection

SSH is a suite of three utilities. SSH: Secure Shell for secure connection and command execution. SCP: Secure Copy Protocol, and slogin: enables secure login. Both ends of an SSH connection are encrypted. SSH would allow for all of the criteria to be met.

This is definitely C. LDAP is used to provide a central place for directory service authentication. S/MIME is an internet standard to digitally sign and encrypt email messages. It ensures the integrity of email messages remains intact while being received. SSH can be used with FTP which is called SFTP, file transfer over encrypted tunnel.

LDAPS is for directory based traffic and S/MIME for email traffic. Sending files to another server using SSH will achieve the aim. Try it out on linux based machines.

On review it looks to be LDAPS. Other sites also saying LDAPS.

S/MIME is the format used for email attachments, there is no way for the users to upload files to the directory and have it automatically sent to the business partner. SSH can do this by sshing to the required directory and placing the files there. And having it sent using various ssh based file transfer protocols like sftp, scp.

Directory = LDAPS
