CompTIA A+ (220-901) — Question 23

Which of the following protocols would be used for file sharing between MAC OS and Windows OS workstations on a LAN?

Answer options

• A. IMAP
• B. SMB
• C. SSH
• D. RDP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, SMB, which stands for Server Message Block, a protocol specifically designed for file sharing across different operating systems, including MAC and Windows. IMAP is used for email retrieval, SSH is for secure shell access, and RDP is for remote desktop access, making them unsuitable for file sharing in this context.
