A File Server is a computer attached to a network that has
the primary purpose of providing a location for the shared
storage of information (such as documents, sound files,
photographs, movies, images, databases, et cetera) that can
be accessed by the workstations that are attached to the
network. As distinguished from Timesharing or a Mainframe
(where a central computer provides calculation resources
for "dumb" terminals) a File Server is designed primarily
to enable the rapid storage and retrieval of data where the
heavy computation is provided by the workstations.

When a PC is used for sharing files that is for downloading
and uploading Data's ,it becomes file server.

Answer / deepak rawat
we can say that a computer on network which can share a
single file is file server. how to configure it is so
simple just share your file and the your computer also act
as file server.In the company they used database server
which function is to share information that need to user.
database server is always on never shut down .if its shut
down the network sufer from severe problem because no
network client access the share data.
