 FILE SERVER Definition
We define FILE SERVER |
FILE SERVER - Any computer that allows other computers to access files stored on its hard drive or other storage media. The file server also controls who can and cannot access these files. Most other types of servers, including database and webservers, are just glorified file servers. Webservers serve up Web pages, but Web pages are files. Database servers serve up data, but that data is contained in files. However, the distinction is that file servers typically allow access to the files in their raw format, such as through a file management program or command, while webservers and database servers may not allow that form of access. |
