Personally I use Firebird Aliases (in aliases.conf).
If you want to acces your DB file placed in c:\DB\somedatabase.fdb
then you don't have to set this path on every client PC.
In aliases.conf you can write aliases like this:
MyDB = c:\DB\somedatabase.fdb
With this line you can set DB connection string on clients to MyServer:MyDB.
In this case, you can always move your database file on this server into a different folder, or even a different drive, you have to change the value in aliases.conf, and you don't have to deal with client settings.
