In the context of 4D Server, plugins can be placed at two locations:

1. In the plugins folder located next to the database.
   
   

   Windows & Mac OS X Example: mydatabase.4dbase\plugins\myplign.bundle In this situation, the plugin on the client machine would be located in the "Plugins\" directory of the client cache folder: WinXP/Win2K: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\4D\mydatabase_x_x_x_\plugins\myplugin.bundle Vista/Win2K8: C:\Userss\Username\AppData\Local\4D\mydatabase_x_x_x_\plugins\myplugin.bundle Mac OS X: :Users:username:Library:Caches:4D:mydatabase_x_x_x:plugins:myplugin.bundle

   
   
   
2. In the plugins folder located next to the 4D Server application (placed inside the package on Mac OS X).
   
   

   Windows Example: C:\Program Files\4D\4D v11 SQL Release 4\4D Server\Plugins\myplugin.bundle Mac OS X Example: :Applications:4D:4D v11 SQL Release 4:4D Server.app:Contents:Plugins:myplugin.bundle In this situation, the plugin on the Client machine would be located in "4D\Plugins\" directory of the client cache folder: WinXP/Win2k3: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\4D\mydatabase_x_x_x_\4D\plugins\myplugin.bundle Vista/Win2k8: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\4D\mydatabase_x_x_x_\4D\plugins\myplugin.bundle Mac OS X: :Users:username:Library:Caches:4D:mydatabase_x_x_x:4D:plugins:myplugin.bundle

It is recommended that you remove any unneeded plugins from these locations as they will be automatically copied to the client machine; if the plugins are not needed then that is wasted bandwidth/storage.
