CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 323

A technician is connecting a Linux server to a share on a NAS. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate native protocol to use for this task?

Answer options

• A. CIFS
• B. FTP
• C. SFTP
• D. NFS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

NFS (Network File System) is specifically designed for Linux and Unix systems, making it the best choice for connecting a Linux server to a NAS. CIFS is more suited for Windows environments, while FTP and SFTP are primarily used for file transfer rather than direct file sharing with a network file system.
