There are different types of "servers". To be a "file server" one needs to store and retrieve files. There are "name servers" that perform name to address translation. There are "DHCP servers" that manage LAN addresses. Way back when there used to be "terminal servers" that interfaced character terminals to local area networks, etc...
A server is a running instance of an application (software) capable of accepting requests from the client and giving responses accordingly. Servers can run on any computer including dedicated computers, which individually are also often referred to as "the server". In many cases, a computer can provide several services and have several servers running. The advantage of running servers on a dedicated computer is security. For this reason most of the servers are daemon processes and designed in that they can be run on specific computer(s).
Servers operate within a client-server architecture. Servers are computer programs running to serve the requests of other programs, the clients. Thus, the server performs some tasks on behalf of clients. It facilitates the clients to share data, information or any hardware and software resources.

Thanks Tony. Some of our friends here are, well.....
Of course none of these five transports under discussion are servers.
Not sure why Tony is bothering, or you're piling on.
