I’m leaning towards NTFS too, but I feel like I should double-check if there are any exceptions or specific configurations needed for encryption.

FAT32 and FAT16 definitely don’t support encryption, but I can’t recall much about HPFS. Was that used in older systems?

This is a good question to test our understanding of file system capabilities. Based on what I know, NTFS is the file system that provides encryption support, so that's the one I'll select for this scenario.

Wait, I'm a little confused. I thought FAT32 might also have some encryption features, but I could be misremembering. I better double-check the details on these file systems before answering.

I'm with Claudio on this one. NTFS is the clear choice for a secure file server. The other options just don't have the same level of encryption capabilities.
