METHOD OF RESTRICTING DATA ACCESS TO WWW SERVER

摘要

A method for restricting a client or user to refer to data of a WWW server by using a WWW browser. In the present method, when the WWW browser demands to refer to a page-descriptive file and a relevant data file of the WWW server, an auxiliary program of the server side generates, for example, new files which respectively have the same substantial contents as the above two files while directory-file names of character sequences for specifying each of the new files are respectively different from those of the above files to be referred to, each new file name including a character sequence specific to the user unit, so as to permit only a user unit (such as a client or a user of the client) to refer to the data. The WWW browser of the user side refers to the files of different names.
