three 0 Posted May 19, 2004 File and mail server for 98/XP based network 1. Synchronize Client Folders to Server Folders. Clients work with files on their machine while the Server keeps record and makes all updated changes on the Server folder. ie. Clients can open and work on a Word document on their pc and when they save the file locally, the server picks it up and saves a copy on the Server, sorta backup protection. The client pc folders are not accessible over the network (workgroup) and only the Server has direct access to clients (no peer to peer connections) all domain users must access the server for the files, any updates on the server files is automatically updated on the originating clients folder as well. 2. Mail storage. The server holds all domain users mail accounts and automatically downloads mails. The clients log onto the server to check and download their emails. Trying to cut down on bandwith usage where some clients are accessing the same accounts and have to download from the net each time. Share this post Link to post
