About File Sharing Service
Mac OS X Server le sharing service lets users access shared folders and store les on
the server. They can use Macintosh, Windows, or UNIX computers to access their les
and shared folders without special software, using native le protocols such as AFP and
SMB. Windows users see Mac OS X Server le servers in their Network Places, just like
Windows le servers.
