CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 80

A network technician is installing new software on a Windows-based server in a different geographical location. Which of the following would be BEST for the technician to use to perform this task?

Answer options

• A. RDP
• B. SSH
• C. FTP
• D. DNS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is the optimal choice for accessing and managing Windows-based servers remotely, allowing the technician to interact with the server's desktop environment. SSH is typically used for secure command line access to Unix/Linux systems, while FTP is for file transfers and DNS is used for domain name resolution, making them unsuitable for this task.
