Can virus effect the target server ?

[thanhnetgame]

Example , the Initiator saves files that have virus to the target server ( Target server : share iSCSI image disk , full access ) .Can virus effect the server computer ? thanks !

No, the virus can't infect until it is executed. So virus can't effect the server unless this server use initiator to log on to itself.

Thanks for help . So it is more risk when share a disk or partition with full access than share a image disk , because the virus can attack the target server computer , isn't it ?

Mybe, but if you do not run applications or load other executable files (.dll, etc.) in the shared disk or partition at the server side, the virus can't infect the server.
