file server
A high-speed computer in a network that stores the programs and data files shared by users. It acts like a remote disk drive.

See database server.
file server [′fīl ‚sər·vər]
(computer science)
A mass storage device that holds programs and data that can be accessed and shared by the workstations connected to a local-area network. Also known as network server.

file server - Hardware and software that together provide file-handling and storage functions for multiple users on a local area network. The most common choices for file server software are Sun Microsystems' Network File System for Unix and Novell Netware for IBM PC compatibles. There is also a version of NFS for PCs called PC-NFS. Storing files on a file server saves having multiple copies stored on individual computers, thus economising on disk space and also makes administrating and updating the files easier.
