<P> In computing, a file server (or fileserver) is a computer attached to a network that provides a location for shared disk access, i.e. shared storage of computer files (such as documents, sound files, photographs, movies, images, databases, etc .) that can be accessed by the workstations that are able to reach the computer that shares the access through a computer network . The term server highlights the role of the machine in the client--server scheme, where the clients are the workstations using the storage . It is common that a file server does not perform computational tasks, and does not run programs on behalf of its clients . It is designed primarily to enable the storage and retrieval of data while the computation is carried out by the workstations . </P> <P> File servers are commonly found in schools and offices, where users use a LAN to connect their client computers . </P>
