Explanation
SSH (Secure Shell) is the industry-standard protocol for secure remote terminal access to Linux and Unix-based systems. It uses strong asymmetric and symmetric encryption to protect all traffic, including authentication credentials, commands, and output. Telnet transmits everything in plaintext and is considered insecure. RDP is designed for Windows GUI remote desktop sessions and is not a standard Linux terminal access tool. SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) leverages SSH's encryption engine but is purpose-built for file transfers, not interactive terminal/administration sessions.
