A device that responds to requests from client applications is commonly referred to as a "server." Servers process incoming requests, provide resources, and deliver services or data to client devices over a network. They can handle various types of requests, such as web pages, files, or applications, depending on their specific function and configuration.
A server waits for requests from the client. Once the client does a request, the server responds. The "client-server" system is used in may different cases; for example, FTP, filesharing, sharing a printer, databases, etc.A server waits for requests from the client.

In a Local Area Network (LAN), data requests from a data provider are typically described using the terms "client" and "server." The client refers to the device or application that requests data, while the server is the data provider that responds to those requests. Additionally, "protocol" is another key term, as it defines the rules and conventions for communication between the client and server.
Client.
Client Computer
The computer on a network that requests from another computer is called the client.
The TCP 3 way handshake is when the server states what ports it has open, the client requests access to the port, and the server grants access. Layman's terms: Server - I have beer at my place. Client - Can I come over? Server - Sure!
HTTP is mainly a pull protocol, where the client (such as a web browser) initiates requests for data from a server. The server then responds to these requests by sending the requested data back to the client. HTTP does not inherently support push capabilities, although techniques like server-sent events and WebSockets can be used to achieve push functionality.
A client.
A server waits for a request by a client. When the client sends the requests, the server answers to it. Examples are file servers, that listen to requests from clients wanting to save or retrieve files; print servers that wait for requests to print (and then print them); DHCP servers that wait for requests to provide IP addresses; etc.
Ten client machines can connect to one server machine using a local area network (LAN) configuration. This can be achieved through a switch or router that facilitates communication between the clients and the server. Each client machine can be assigned an IP address, allowing them to send requests to the server, which processes these requests and responds accordingly. Additionally, protocols such as TCP/IP are typically used to manage data transmission over the network.
