fileOpenOpens an existing file for reading and writing (or read-only). On the server the path is relative to the resource folder and cannot leave it. On the client it first looks for the script's own files (written with fileCreate), then for <file> files sent by the server - those are read-only; ":other/file" points to another resource's file. Close the file with fileClose when done.
fileCreateCreates a new file or empties an existing one and opens it for writing. On the client the files go to a private folder for that server on the player's computer (limit 64 MB per file and 256 MB per server).
