A File Locking job is designed to prevent multiple users from simultaneously accessing the same file across multiple file servers.  You can combine it with Microsoft DFS Replication to provide an entry-level collaboration option for teams sharing project files that are distributed across multiple locations.  Since it is only available with Microsoft DFS-R, File Locking jobs are only available for use with Windows file servers.
