Why each option
To securely download a large firmware image to a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect, the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) must be used.
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is used for remote graphical access to a desktop or server, not for file transfer.
SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is the appropriate choice as it uses SSH for encryption and authentication, ensuring secure transfer of the firmware image. It is also capable of handling larger file sizes, which is important for firmware bundles exceeding 232 MB.
