About FileMaker Server
FileMaker Server is a dedicated database server that opens FileMaker Pro files, makes them available to clients on your network, and publishes FileMaker data in webpages or to other applications supported by the FileMaker Server Web Publishing Engine and the FileMaker Data API Engine.
