In a shared printer configuration, which protocol would typically be used to scan a document directly to a networked folder on a Windows server?
Server Message Block (SMB)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Server Message Block (SMB) is the protocol used for providing shared access to files and printers between nodes on a network. It is the standard protocol for scanning a document to a shared folder on a Windows server due to its native support within the Windows ecosystem for network file sharing. While SMB relies on TCP for transport, TCP itself doesn't provide the file-sharing service. SMTP is used for sending email (scan-to-email), and LDAP is used for directory services, not file transfers.
