<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and surely update a file on a remote server according to an improved remote protocol. <P>SOLUTION: A client gives an instruction to a server by collection/copy expansion to the remote protocol for collecting a part of data from an existing source file on the server and copying a part of the data to a proper offset inside a new target file on the server. By collection/copy expansion, the client can leave a blank position, in which the user can write new data during file updating, in the target file. By collection/copy expansion, the client can effectively delete a part of the source file by not copying it to the target file from the source file. The whole of the file can be updated without transferring it from the client to the server. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
