A file server is a computer or device that stores and manages files, allowing multiple users and devices to access the files over a network.
A. Application files: file servers typically store application files, which are files that are used by software programs. These files can include executable files, DLLs, configuration files, and other types of files that are needed to run the software.
D. System files: file servers also store system files, which are files that are used by the operating system. These files include system libraries, drivers, and other types of files that are required for the operating system to function properly.
