Types of servers

Types of servers are
  • Web server
  • Proxy server
  • FTP server
Proxy Server:
A proxy server is a server which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server requesting some services such as file,connection,web page,or other resources available from a different server. A proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server that passes all request and replies unmodified is usually called a gateway.
