Method, computer and computer program modules to transfer data in a computer network, and such a computer network

摘要

In a method, a computer, and computer program modules to transfer data between servers of a computer network, a computer program module supplying the data from a first server is provided, and a reading computer program module is provided that reads the supplied data, and wherein one of the following transmission modes is selected: 1) a complete storage of the data in a file occurs before the reading computer program module reads the data; 2) a segment-by-segment storage of the data in a file occurs such that the reading computer program module already begins with the reading of a segment while the supplying computer program module is still supplying data; and 3) a direct transmission of the data between the supplying computer program module and the reading computer program module occurs without buffering.
