Why each option
To securely connect to a physical Linux server from a terminal-only workstation, SSH is the optimal method. It provides an encrypted command-line interface for remote administration.
SSH (Secure Shell) offers a secure, encrypted command-line interface for remote administration of Linux servers. It is perfectly suited for terminal environments as it doesn't require a graphical interface and ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data transferred.
HTTPS is primarily used for secure web communication and does not provide a direct shell connection for server administration.
RSH (Remote Shell) provides command-line access but is insecure because it transmits data, including credentials, in plain text.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) provides remote graphical desktop access, which is not suitable for a terminal-only workstation or necessary for command-line administration.
