A file is to be transferred over the internet employs TCP/IP procedures to insure accurate transmission of the file. When, in a processing system, a URL request for a file is generated, a determination is made whether the requested file is stored in a device associated with processing system issuing the URL request. When the requested file is stored in a storage unit connected to the data processing system requesting the file, then the TCP/IP procedures are not used. When the file must be transferred over the internet, i.e., the device storing the requested file is not associated with the processing system requesting the file, then the TCP/IP procedures are employed. In this manner, the TCP/IP procedures have a reduced impact on the availability of the central processing unit.
