Computer-implemented method, system and program product for providing real-time access to information on a computer system over a network

摘要

Under the present invention, user interface pages are served to a user so that the user can access "information" files in real-time using a web browser or the like. In a typical embodiment, the user will input login data, which will be used to access his/her access control permissions. Based on the access control permissions, the files the user is authorized to access will be displayed in a list along with a list of links to other computer systems in the network the user can access. When the user selects a desired file, that file will be retrieved in real-time and the information therein will be communicated to the user for viewing in the interface pages.
