A network administrator needs to choose the most suitable protocol to enable file sharing across multiple computer systems within a Windows domain. Considering security and Windows integration, which protocol is the BEST to use?
Server Message Block (SMB), which typically operates on port 445, is the best choice because it provides a native file sharing protocol for Windows-based systems, allowing for seamless integration within a Windows domain. It supports authentication, file locking, and permissions that heighten the security of file transfers.
