System and method for shared folder creation in a network enviornment

摘要

A method includes receiving a request over a network from a user to mount a shared folder, which is configured to store electronic data to be selectively accessed based on a policy. The method also includes evaluating whether the user is authenticated. The method also includes generating a random mount point for mounting the shared folder, and redirecting the user to the random mount point if the user is authenticated.

1. A method executed by a processor in a network environment, comprising:
receiving a request over the network from a user to mount a remote shared folder at a first path, the remote shared folder and the user being separated by a public network; evaluating whether the user is authenticated; generating a random mount point locally at a different second path, the random mount point being local in the network relative to the user; initiating a remote session with a remote host connected to the remote shared folder, the remote shared folder being local relative to the remote host; copying contents of the remote shared folder to the random mount point; terminating the remote session with the remote host; redirecting the user to the second path for the local random mount point if the user is authenticated; propagating to the remote shared folder changes made to the contents at the local random mount point; and deleting the random mount point after user signoff.
