Explanation

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) both use SSH to encrypt data in transit, making them secure file transfer options. ICMP is a diagnostic/messaging protocol (used by ping) and does not transfer files. SNMP is used for network device management, not file transfer. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a lightweight, unauthenticated file transfer protocol with no encryption, making it insecure.
