Release: Friday May 29, 2009 Abstract File Access Services are the software and protocols that enable network file access and sharing in Microsoft Windows operating environments. File Access Services allow a client computer to discover, access, and share files that are hosted on, and made available by, a server computer. This document describes the intended functionality of the File Access Services System, how it interacts with systems and applications that need file services, and how it interacts with administrative clients to configure and manage the system. File Access Services uses multiple protocols for file access and file server administration. This document lists those protocols and describes how they are used to implement the File Access Services System.
