Question
A manager wants to distribute a report to several other managers with the company. Some of them reside in remote locations that are not connected to the domain but have a local server. Because there is sensitive data within the report and the size of the report is beyond the limit of the email attachment size, emailing the report is not an option. Which of the following protocols should be implemented to distribute the report securely? (Select THREE)
Options
- AS/MIME
- BSSH
- CSNMPv3
- DFTPS
- ESRTP
- FHTTPS
- GLDAPS

Why each option
This question tests knowledge of secure file transfer and communication protocols suitable for distributing large files securely across remote, non-domain-connected locations.
S/MIME is a protocol for encrypting and digitally signing email messages, which is irrelevant here since email is explicitly ruled out due to attachment size limits.
SSH (Secure Shell) provides encrypted remote access and secure file transfer capabilities via SCP or SFTP, making it ideal for securely transferring large files to remote servers not connected to the domain.
SNMPv3 is a network management protocol used for monitoring and managing network devices, not for transferring or distributing files securely.
FTPS (FTP Secure) is FTP over TLS/SSL, providing encrypted file transfer that can handle large files without email size restrictions, making it appropriate for securely distributing reports to remote local servers.
SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) is designed for encrypting audio and video streams in real-time communications, not for file distribution or transfer.
HTTPS (HTTP Secure) uses TLS/SSL encryption to securely transmit data over the web, allowing large files to be securely downloaded or uploaded via a web interface without email size limitations, even from non-domain environments.
LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) is used for secure directory service queries and authentication against directory servers, not for transferring or distributing files to remote locations.
