File server


File server is nothing but a storage place for clients. Instead of moving a file by coping it onto floppy disk and physically place it into a file server, usually clients copy a file directly through their internal LAN connection onto a file server. A network-attached storage (NAS) device is a server that is dedicated to nothing more than file sharing. NAS does not provide any of the activities that a server in a server-centric system typically provides, such as e-mail, authentication or file management.
