CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 40
A technician needs to provide remote support for a legacy Linux-based operating system from their Windows laptop. The solution needs to allow the technician to see what the user is doing and provide the ability to interact with the user's session. Which of the following remote access technologies would support the use case?
Answer options
- A. VPN
- B. VNC
- C. SSH
- D. RDP
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is VNC, as it allows for graphical remote access and interaction with the user's session on a Linux system. VPN provides a secure connection but does not allow for session viewing or interaction, while SSH is primarily for command-line access without a graphical interface. RDP is designed for Windows environments and may not be compatible with a legacy Linux system.
