File
A File is considered any sequence of bits stored on the server's database as a single unit. Images, PDF documents, and text files are some common examples of files used in Cascade Server.
Files are created by applications and conform to a particular file format (associated with a file extension). A file is characterized by its filename, file extension, file size etc. Files can be uploaded and managed with Cascade Server, either directly, or by creating an Asset and selecting the file override option. When file override is used, the contents of that asset is overwritten with the contents of the selected file.
