Abstract
A file allocation and management system for a multi-user network environment is disclosed. At least one server and two or more clients are disposed along the network in communicating via a request/response transfer protocol. Files directed for shared usage among the clients along the network are stored at the server. Each client is adapted to communicate with the server through a plurality of identifier sockets, wherein a first identifier socket is configured for bi-directional communication and a second identifier socket is configured for uni-directional communications initiated by the server. Files normally stored at the server, under appropriate circumstances may be temporarily stored in an internal cache or other memory at each client location, when the file is in use.
