File Server
Description: File Server - 100
The file server function allows clients to store and access information, such as files and
programs, on the System i5 in various formats. This server replaces the shared folder type 2
server that was used prior to Version 3 Release 1. The OS/400 file server interfaces with the
integrated file system on the System i5. It provides file serving capabilities equivalent to shared
folders, but also allows clients to access information in any of the new file systems within
OS/400.
