File servers store the files that are created by the network users. They also store applications such as word processing programs, spreadsheets etc. Users can access parts of a file server's hard disk which will appear as an extra drive on their own computer. Applications can either be run from the fileserver, or they can be downloaded to the user's workstation. In addition, the fileserver often runs the network software which controls the network. |
