CompTIA A+ 220-1102 (V14) Practice Question

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol designed to provide secure access over an unsecured network, most notably for command-line access to servers. It encrypts the entire session, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of all transmitted data. While modern versions of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Microsoft Remote Assistance (MSRA) also use encryption , SSH is purpose-built for secure server administration and is a standard choice for this type of task. Virtual Network Computer (VNC) does not typically provide encryption by default and is often secured by tunneling it through an SSH connection. Given the client's insistence on a secure, encrypted method for server troubleshooting, SSH is the most appropriate and direct tool for the job.
