Abstract
A method is provided for accessing files on a client node which is connected to a server node across a network channel. A first file is displayed on the client node, and context information indicative of this first document is stored. Rather than using a 'hard' link which specifies a specific path/filename, a dynamic softlinking process is used to access a second file. A link, similar to a hyperlink, can be selected on the first displayed file to access a second file, where the link includes information indicative of the second file. To determine a file identifier for the second document, a data structure, having a plurality of file identifiers, is accessed using the context information and link information. The second file can then be retrieved from the server node via the network channel using the file identifer and displayed on the client node.
