This is useful for server owners that allow custom content for subscribers and admins.

You can 'force' players download non standard files from your server (usually assets from addons on your server) by using the commands resource.AddFile() and resource.AddSingleFile().

See: resource.AddSingleFile and G.AddCSLuaFile- includes example usages.

If you plan to primarily host a custom gamemode, you should check the gamemode's website or readme about specific settings to place in your server.cfg. Most server.cfg files are set up to handle Sandbox gamemode and its derivatives.

Server.cfg is the name of the configuration (.cfg) file that runs every time your server is started and every time you change maps.
