Using Your Computer as a Network Server

A network server is the master computer in a network and

provides storage space for the other computers connected to it.

It can also write files to and read files from the other

computers, making it the most powerful computer in the

network.

Even if no one is typing commands at the network server

keyboard, the server can process commands sent to it from

other computers. If you use your computer as the network

server, you may want to prevent unauthorized users from

entering commands at the keyboard. To provide this security,

you can enable a power-on password in network server mode

using the Setup program.
