Can someone please tell me what is meant by a file share? 
 
I'm doing a little reading on MS Sql Server and they talk about how 
you can connect to the sql server through a named pipe. 
I'm guessing that a file share means a specific service running on a 
server. Is this correct? 
The book says the following: 
When you connect to a file share you use a Universal Naming Convention 
path to a file server: \\FILESERVER\Sharename. 
 
To connect to a named pipe, you connect to a share of the form: 
\\COMPUTER\pipe\sql\query 
 
Thanks Hope you can clear this up for me.
