Refrain from "Server" and "File Name"


Explanation:
Although I am not quite sure about it without the background information. It may be like refrain from hosting "Server" and "File Name", or something like that.

控えておいてください


Explanation:
Hikae is a duplicate or copy of something. Oitekudasai in this sense is to "store".

So they are saying "Store a copy of the Server Name and the File name."

A native may say "Keep a note of" in verbal language more often than "Store a copy of" which seems more for a technical written manual.

Example sentence(s):
  • Store a copy of the Server Name and the File name
  • Keep a note of the Server name and the File name
