server folder

'Directory' and 'folder' are the same, but 'directory' is outdated. It is common to speak about 'folders' nowadays. 'Directory' dates from the DOS period, 'folder' is Windows language.

I am well aware of that but it seems that in IT speak, a server map is used in English. Lots of NL IT comes from English anyway
