A user wishes to share files between his Apple Computer and Windows 7 PC. What protocol will he most likely employ?
  1. SMB
  2. TCP
  3. FTP
  4. IMAP
  5. LULU
Explanation
Answer: A - SMB (Server Message Blocks) would be employed by a user wishing to share files between his Apple and Windows computers.

Key Takeaway - The Server Message Blocks (SMB) protocol permits users to share files and printers between systems. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows users to transfer files between computers, but is usually not used over the Internet (rather than within a LAN). IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) provides remote email access, and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) allows for Internet Browsing.
