Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 85

A server administrator wants to transfer files between a workstation and a server. It needs to be as simple as possible, without concern for security or advanced functionality.
Which is the optimal protocol to choose?

Answer options

• A. HTTP
• B. SFTP
• C. SMTP
• D. TFTP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The most suitable protocol for straightforward file transfers without security concerns is TFTP, as it is designed for simplicity and ease of use. HTTP, while also simple, is primarily meant for web traffic rather than file transfers. SFTP offers security features that are unnecessary in this scenario, and SMTP is used for email transmission, not file transfers.
