The term server highlights the role of the machine in the traditional client–server scheme, where the clients are the workstations using the storage. A file server does not normally perform computational tasks or run programs on behalf of its client workstations.

File servers are commonly found in schools and offices, where users use a local area network to connect their client computers.
