The Client Framework also provides a WCF Service named FileStoreGateway. It exposes an endpoint named AccessServiceFileStoreEndPoint that implements the IFileStoreService interface. This allows the remote client application to download files from a file repository on the server where the FileStoreGateway Service is running. You can also upload files if you have the required permissions.

The FileStoreGateway Service exposes a more basic interface than the Gateway Service and does not require a duplex channel for its operation. The FileStoreGateway can be installed as a service with the AB Suite Runtime software or can be hosted by the WCF Gateway Host application on a development machine for testing purpose.
