Well, what EXACTLY are you trying to accomplish?

Yes.

If the files are stored on a file server machine to begin with, then they
have to run the machine to get at the files anyway.  You could write the
server app as a service so that it is automatically running whenever the
machine is booted up.

You just have to make sure that you write your code to be as reliable and
stable as possible to prevent that.

If you write the app as a service, you can set it up so that only admins
have access to stop it.  That way, if an admin has a reason to stop it, you
can just tell your callers "hey, your admin stopped it on purpose, go ask
him about it" ;-)
