In the training material for Cisco Data Center System Devices, there are two remote file system methods that are commonly used to transfer firmware to the Fabric Interconnect: FTP and TFTP.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the internet. FTP provides a reliable and efficient means of transferring files and supports both ASCII and binary file types. FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) is a secure version of FTP that encrypts data and provides authentication to ensure secure file transfers.

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) as the underlying transport protocol. TFTP is often used to transfer files to and from network devices, such as routers, switches, and firewalls. TFTP is simpler and faster than FTP, but it does not provide reliable delivery of data or support for authentication and encryption.

RSH (Remote Shell) is not a remote file system method, but rather a protocol for executing commands on remote systems. RSH is not commonly used for transferring firmware to the Fabric Interconnect and is not a recommended method for file transfer due to its lack of security and reliability.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is options B and C, which are FTP and TFTP.
