How do node.js could deal with files and servers

Question

I tried to search it in the search bar. But I didn't found. I apologise if there were any post related to it.

Well. I will jump to the question. So node.js is a java script library based on chromes v8 js engine. But how it could manage files and servers which cannot be done with js much . (IK we can do something with AJAX. But js is still not a server side language).

Is it using another language? Can anyone solve this problem?

Thanks!
