How would you map a drive to access a share named "FILES" on a server named "SERVER"?

• A. map drive \\SERVER\FILES
• B. net use z: \\server\files
• C. connect \\server\files
• D. connect /z \\SERVER\FILES

Answer: (B)

Mapping a drive to access a network share involves creating a link between a drive letter on your local machine and a shared folder on a network server. The correct method for doing this directly involves using the command line utility that enables you to establish this connection.

Using the specified command "net use z: \server\files" is the appropriate method for mapping a drive. This command serves multiple purposes: it designates a specific drive letter (in this case, "z:") to represent the shared folder and specifies the exact network path to that folder ("\server\files"). This allows the user to access the contents of the shared folder as if they were located on a local drive.

The command-line tool "net use" is particularly effective because it not only maps the drive but can also reconnect automatically on startup if desired. This feature adds convenience for ongoing access to the shared resources.

Other approaches listed in the options do not achieve accurate results for mapping a network drive. While "\SERVER\FILES" is an accurate representation of the network share, it lacks the functionality of associating the share to a drive letter in a straightforward and compatible manner. Similarly, the "connect" command does not follow the standard syntax used to map network drives in Windows environments
