File Sharing

File sharing is the most common function provided by networks and consists of grouping all data files together on a server or servers. When all data files in an organization are concentrated in one place, it is much easier for staff to share documents and other data. It is also an excellent way for the entire office to keep files organized according to a consistent scheme. Network operating systems such as Windows 2000 allow the administrator to grant or deny groups of users access to certain files.
