THE PROTOCOL SPECIFIED IN THIS URL, FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP), PROB-ABLY WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE THE QUESTION DID NOT SPECIFY THAT FTP IS RUNNING ON THESERVER
5.
Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect:
The protocol specified in this URL, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), prob-
ably will not work because the question did not specify that FTP is running on the
server. FTP is an optional component of Internet Information Server (IIS) that is
available for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional, but it is
not enabled by default, and additional configuration would be required to enable
files to be shared through FTP.
B. Incorrect:
The protocol specified in this URL, Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP), probably will not work because the question did not specify that HTTP is
running on the server. The HTTP protocol is the foundation for Web communica-
tions, and is implemented by the IIS and available for both Windows Server 2003
and Windows XP Professional. Although it would be possible to configure the
server to share this file via HTTP, IIS does not share any files by default.
C. Correct:
Specifying file for the protocol in the URL instructs Internet Explorer to
access the file using shared folders. This URL is exactly equivalent to \\server.mar-
giestravel.com\accounting\expense-reports.xls.
D. Incorrect:
As with answer B, the protocol is incorrect. Additionally, the hyphen
in the file name has been replaced with %20, a special sequence used in URLs to
represent a space character, not a hyphen.
