CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 192

A technician is creating a network share that will be used across both Unix and Windows clients at the same time. Users need read and write access to the files. Which of the following would be BEST for the technician to deploy?

Answer options

• A. iSCSI
• B. CIFS
• C. HTTPS
• D. DAS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

CIFS (Common Internet File System) is designed for file sharing across different operating systems, making it the ideal choice for mixed environments like Unix and Windows. iSCSI is a protocol for linking data storage facilities and is not intended for file sharing, while HTTPS is primarily used for secure web communication, and DAS (Direct Attached Storage) does not provide network sharing capabilities.
