An administrator has been asked to remotely configure a guest machine while on vacation. The administrator only has access to a hotel kiosk to make the necessary changes. Which of the following can…

SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) requires a dedicated SSH client application installed on the local machine, which is not available on a typical hotel kiosk.

HTTPS encrypts all data in transit using TLS, protecting credentials and configuration changes from interception on an untrusted hotel network. A hotel kiosk provides a web browser, which is sufficient to access web-based management consoles such as iDRAC, iLO, or VMware vSphere Web Client over HTTPS. This combination of universal availability and strong encryption makes HTTPS the only practical and secure option in this constrained environment.

FTP transmits data including credentials in plaintext with no encryption, making it insecure for use over an untrusted public network such as hotel Wi-Fi.

IPMI is an out-of-band hardware management interface that requires dedicated client software or direct network access to the baseboard management controller, neither of which is available on a hotel kiosk.
