I'd prefer to keep the title neutral, in case we adjust the content in a later release and for consistency with the other names. The description, however, is already specific about SSH. I have added 'Executing commands with elevated permissions' to the key knowledge areas to have an anchor for su and sudo, which were already listed as relevant commands. Regarding SCP vs. SFTP we should keep in mind that these changes affect the protocols, not the commands. The scp **command**, which we cover in the exam, remains in existence, while the SCP **protocol** is replaced by the SFTP protocol. https://www.openssh.org/txt/release-9.0 says > This release switches scp(1) from using the legacy scp/rcp protocol > to using the SFTP protocol by default. Since it is easier to use, I'd propose sticking with the scp command and continue to not address protocol details.
