Dutch term or phrase: Servermap
'Het is te adviseren om de JRE map in de xxxx Servermap te verwijderen'.

'it is advised that the jre folder in the xxxx Server??? is deleted.'
I know it has to be deleted , but is the jre folder in the xxxx 'directory', or the xxxx 'folder'?

server folder
Explanation:
'Directory' and 'folder' are the same, but 'directory' is outdated. It is common to speak about 'folders' nowadays. 'Directory' dates from the DOS period, 'folder' is Windows language.

neutral  writeaway: maybe. I'd like to see concrete refs since you are so adamant my reference is incorrect.

  -> Just search on google on 'server folder' and you will find as many references as you want. Your reference is about something totally different: a scheme of relations between different servers.
agree  Dennis Seine: Standard terminology.

disagree  Gerrit Veldman: The English 'map' is something else than the Dutch 'map'.

  -> I am well aware of that but it seems that in IT speak, a server map is used in English. Lots of NL IT comes from English anyway
