  File server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
File servers do not need to be high-end but must have enough disk space to incorporate a large amount of data.
Files and directories on the remote computer are usually accessed using a particular protocol, such as SMB, CIFS, NFS (Network file system), Appletalk, or their mutations.
Although files can be sent to and received from most other computers, unless their primary function is access by the above means, they are generally not considered file servers as such.

 Files Reference - DHCP Server Configuration File
The data is stored in the server file so that it can be read in with the configuration file and displayed as the name and not the value in the viewing window of dhcpsconf.
This is the path to a file to substitute for /etc/dhcps.cr.
Indicates to the server whether or not to support requests from clients that are not specifically configured with their own individual client statements in the server.

 Administrator's Guide to the PUBLIC File Server
A file server is a specially equipped computer, or a program that controls access to blocks of disk space on a computer, that allows users to share files and distribute information.
A file server can be used to collect documents (for example, homework) through the use of a "drop-box." The file server allows the owner of a folder to place restrictions on accessibility to that folder.
When a file is placed in the Drop Box, the individual dropping the file will be warned that he or she will be unable to make changes to the file once it is dropped into the folder.

 Windows and Linux Cluster File System for Scalable File Serving & Server Consolidation - PolyServe
Consolidation of Windows File Servers—enterprise file servers deployed for home network drives, shared data repositories, workgroup drives and file and print servers—provides IT departments a way to both drastically reduce the cost of operations and provide more efficient management of the incredible storage growth everyone is facing.
Matrix Server is comprised of the only symmetric Cluster File System (CFS) that runs on Microsoft Windows Server System, providing all the benefits of a robust shared data architecture without locking IT into another operating environment such as the proprietary systems of NAS appliances.
Every server in the cluster has access to all the data, so data never has to be replicated to move users across file systems and one server can back up all data within in the cluster, in a fraction of the time.

 Linux File Server   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
A file server differs from a personal computer (PC) in that the server is dedicated to storing files in a centralized location while permitting access to networked computers.
A file server enables all files to be stored in a central location, which accommodates centralized backup strategies (one place to backup all files) and security implementation (depending on the operating system, individuals can be assigned different access rights to stored information).
Files on the network server are backed up on a regular basis.

 Microsoft File Server Auditing and Compliance
Once deployed, ChangeAuditor for File Servers provides automates global file server audit policies and reporting tasks that are necessary to remain compliant with industry regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley.
ChangeAuditor for File Servers enables comprehensive auditing of the entire environment system-wide and it also protects the audit configuration of machines in remote locations by sending you proactive alerts when changes are made.
To ensure compliance with such regulations as SOX and HIPAA, you rely on difficult to configure native file system event logs, and you gather the data on each server and file directory/share independently, knowing full well that the approach is error-prone and kluge.

 BigAdmin Feature Article: Introduction to Creating a File Server
When building a file server, the number one concern for that file server is to always have the data available.
For example, a company may wish its web server to have a 99.5% uptime, which means in any one-year period, the server is to be unavailable for no more than 43 hours.
A file server, since it is normally tasked only to serving files, requires only the bare minimum dependent on the OS.

 File Server
Typically we compress files using either "WinZip" or "Stuffit" software, this is to ensure data integrity over the internet and to preserve the icons and resource forks when the file is opened on a Mac.

 What is file server? - a definition from Whatis.com
A file server allows users to share information over a network without having to physically transfer files by floppy diskette or some other external storage device.
In its simplest form, a file server may be an ordinary PC that handles requests for files and sends them over the network.
In a more sophisticated network, a file server might be a dedicated network-attached storage (NAS) device that also serves as a remote hard disk drive for other computers, allowing anyone on the network to store files on it as if to their own hard drive.

 IBM General Parallel File System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) is a high-performance shared-disk file system that can provide fast, reliable data access from all nodes in a homogenous or heterogenous cluster of IBM UNIX® servers running either the AIX 5L or the Linux operating system.
Because most UNIX file systems are designed for a single-server environment, adding more file servers typically does not improve the file access performance.
GPFS complies with UNIX file system standards but is designed to deliver much higher performance, scalability and failure recovery by accessing multiple file system nodes directly (no single file server) and in parallel.

 Apple - Mac OS X Server - File and Print   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Mac OS X Server supports native service discovery for Mac and Windows systems, so networked users can find, or “discover,” file servers in the way that’s normal for their system.
In addition, Mac OS X Server supports a file permission inheritance model, so user permissions are inherited when files are moved to the server and rewritten when files are copied on the server.
Mac OS X Server features easy-to-configure print services based on native protocols that allow Mac, Windows and UNIX systems to share PostScript and inkjet printers — whether they’re network-based or connected directly to the server.

 [No title]
When users require an important file such as a project plan, they can access the file on the file server instead of having to pass the file between their separate computers.
If you remove the file server role, files and folders on this server are no longer shared and network users, programs, or hosts that depend on those shared resources will be unable to connect to them.
After you complete the Configure Your Server Wizard and create shared resources on the computer, the computer is ready for use as a basic file server that can store, manage, and share information such as files and network-accessible applications.

 Neverfail File Server Software
Typical file server backup strategies that mix frequent incremental backups with occasional full backups may work in theory, but they cannot prevent losing changes to data after the last backup was finished.
Neverfail for File Server automatically configures protection for all of your file shares as they are created, edited, or deleted, and continually reconfigures itself to ensure that any and all changes are included in its replication set so that the file server's data is always up-to-date and fully protected - no manual intervention required.
Because switchovers are completely invisible to file server users, they are not impacted in any way… configuration changes to access shared data aren't necessary, as the file shares appear exactly as before.
