Why not word it slightly differently:

“Tell me about a time you moved a file from one machine to another…”

Then have follow-ups ready to go to introduce constraints or issues that would explore the depth of their knowledge. Say for example, “What if that file had been 1000x bigger?” Or whatever.

I think you’ll get more of what you’re looking for with this approach.
