Question:
What is a "client server"?
Replies:
The client/server system is a general name given to systems where 2 programs
are involved in doing something, usually accessing a database. The client
program runs separately for each user, and controls display on the screen,
input commands, etc. The server program is running all the time, often on a
remote machine the client connects through via some network, and it controls
access to the database or whatever. If you have ever used UNIX, client--
server stuff is all over the place (ftp, telnet, rlogin, X-windows, etc.)
