What type of server? If it is just a file server of some type, that will 
probably means a Windows shared directory, that is, Samba. Or maybe a 
NAS. You could prepare this in Linux, if they document it somewhere.

Or is it a server "in the cloud out there"?

Sorry, no. But I'm curious about that "server" idea. It would make sense 
for an office, as a shared independent machine, same as the office printer.
