EXPERIMENT 9:

Aim: Configure file server

Apparatus: Computers, clients, servers, etc.

Introduction:

1. In computing, a file server (or fileserver) is a computer attached to a network that provides
a location for shared disk access.

2. Shared storage of computer files (such as text, image, sound, and video) that can be accessed
by the workstations that are able to reach the computer that shares the access through a
computer network.

3. The term server highlights the role of the machine in the client–server scheme, where the
clients are the workstations using the storage.

4. It is common that a file server does not perform computational tasks, and does not run
programs on behalf of its clients.

5. It is designed primarily to enable the storage and retrieval of data while the computation
is carried out by the workstations.

6. File servers are commonly found in schools and offices, where users use a LAN to connect
their client computers.

Advantages:
1. You can assign permissions which allow specific users or user security groups to view
certain folders, and lock other users out of areas where they should not be.

which allows you to access your data from home or the road very easily.
