A Jenkins slave (or agent in 2.x) is a service running on "an auxiliary
server" as you describe it, which can be assigned jobs to execute by the
Jenkins master. There is no Jenkins-specific term for a server that
receives artifacts from Jenkins jobs. You would call it whatever you'd
call it if Jenkins weren't involved. File server? Deployment target?

In the context of Jenkins, is a slave server one that receives a

computing demand for resources of a distributed build?
With Jenkins 2.x, the term is "permanent agent." I want to know
precisely what to call a server that receives a Jenkins
build/deployment. If a file receives code or a file from Jenkins,
what is the server called? Is it a managed node? Is there no term
for it?
