FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices which expose a service for mapping UPnP discovered content items to a server message block (SMB) location. The service is arranged to expose an SMB share path to a user at a remote client using a UPnP protocol. The user is then allowed access to the share via SMB to gain file access, write changes or exercise file level control of the discovered content items. Authentication is optionally used to verify that the user is authorised to receive the SMB share location from the service or to verify that the user is authorised to access the SMB share. ^ EFFECT: simple design and operation of computer networks when using UPnP. ^ 4 cl, 9 dwg |
