master Web server

Component of your Web development system that stores and processes the primary copies of the Web pages. This server might reside on the developer workstation or on a separate machine.

If you’re using Microsoft® Visual SourceSafe™, you can verify the name and path for your master Web server.

From the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, right-click a file that is checked out, choose Properties, and then choose the Check Out Status tab. The Computer name is the name of your master Web server, and the Folder name is the absolute path to that machine.
