Remote access gives an attacker an opportunity to get into your server. And usually they get root access aswell, due to the fact its normally only admins who remotely log into servers. For example, something that happened me a few years back, I was at a relatives house when I got a call saying that a certain user forgot their password and couldn't get on the network. I logged into the server from my relatives computer, and gave the user a new password. But I didn't know there was a keylogger on my relatives computer. The following week the network AD was wiped out. The person who planted the keylogger had instantly gotten root.

Access servers enable computers to dial in to a network and obtain access to its resources, thereby exposing the network to the outside world.
Security is the process of applying confidentiality to data and making sure that only authorized individuals have access to the data. One of the problems of breaching a network and stealing confidential information is that the victim (company) loses goodwill.
Goodwill is hard to measure exactly, but we know that it leads to loss of revenue, as clients and customers of the network leave to go elsewhere where their data is protected.
Then there is also the legal aspect; if you do not give permission to a company to give out confidential information about you that they have collected then when the information is revealed (without your permission) the company is liable legally for damages and for failure to provide "due care" because of missing "due diligence" relating to the protection of confidential information.

Operating system protects the computers data from viruses and hackers on the network.. network security protects all devices, servers,m computers ,mainframes on the network.
File servers do those things. There are specialized servers as well, for example web servers, database servers, remote access servers, fax servers--the list goes on and on. But file servers are the backbone of providing access and managing files and who has access to what resources at which times.BTW. Access to the network is usually referred to as Authentication. And Rights or Security Management is usually what controls access to files, printers, and other resources.
Network security concentrates on the packets of information flowing between computer systems.Operating System security controls access to resources on the server itself.Therefore, the two are looking at different things in terms of security.
File Security products protect sensitive file data stored on file servers and network attached storage devices.
This very much depends on what type of security you speak of. Information Security is most often categorized broadly but has to do with keeping unwanted people out of servers and end-user computer systems, there are many jobs in the field of security, its best known for its white hat hackers who penetrate computer systems and network in an attempt to better the stability and security of a network. Analysts analyze and manipulate data from routers and servers used to record events in an attempt to find faults in a network.
