What Are Servers and Clients?
Here are some very basic definitions:
SERVER:
- "A server is primarily a program that runs on a machine, providing a particular and specific service to other machines connected to the machine on which it is found."
CLIENT:
- "Client software receives data or instructions from a remote program called a server."
For the purposes of My Movies, the Server will be your Main Database - your My Movies Server. This Main Database keeps track of where all your movies are stored on your hard-drives, no matter where they are located. Any other computers that access the My Movies Server so that they can watch movies are called Clients.
