Explanation
SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is the correct choice for secure file transfer. SCP operates over SSH, encrypting both authentication credentials and the data in transit, making it suitable for securely transferring sensitive configuration files to a remote server. TFTP transmits data in plaintext with no authentication. FTP also transmits credentials and data in cleartext. HTTPS can be secure but is not the standard protocol used for copying configuration files from Cisco NX-OS devices to remote servers. SCP is the industry-standard secure method for this task on NX-OS.
