# Remote Functions

Several "low level" functions are not available in Business Central because they need a physical (virtual) server to be executed. For example: database access (ODBC), local file system, FTP, SFTP...

"Remote Functions" are a convenient way to use these functions via Web Services through a remote server.

The server must be well configured and secured, later you can setup multiple function profiles through the "<span class="content--11q_vroinCMwmTcvlHW4gt">Remote Functions" page:</span>

- <span class="content--11q_vroinCMwmTcvlHW4gt">Code and description of the server (to identify it)</span>
- <span class="content--11q_vroinCMwmTcvlHW4gt">API URL endpoint</span>
- <span class="content--11q_vroinCMwmTcvlHW4gt">Access Token</span>

<span class="content--11q_vroinCMwmTcvlHW4gt">The preferred server is used when a specific server is not chosen.</span>
