WEBDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) based general file sharing system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for sharing files on the network, and particularly relates to a WEBDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) based file sharing system and method. The system comprises a server and a plurality of clients, and is characterized in that the server comprises a desktop configuration unit, a configuration execution unit and s sharing unit, wherein the desktop configuration unit configures parameters related with the access authority of a client to be accessed and the operation authority of a file to be shared by adopting a visual desktop operating mode; the configuration execution unit executes the parameters configured by the desktop configuration unit; and one or more catalogs to be shared at the server are added to the sharing unit according to the parameters configured by the desktop configuration unit so as to share the one or more catalogs to the plurality of clients. Each client comprises an access unit, and access to the shared catalogs according to the access authority. According to the invention, shared files and clients allowed to access can be directly added at the desktop of the server, and the operation authority of each client for the shared files is configured, so that the convenience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for sharing files on the network, in particular to a file sharing system and method based on WEBDAV. Background technique [0002] WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, Web-based distributed authoring and version control) is a communication protocol based on the http1.1 protocol. It extends http1.1, and adds some new methods besides several http standard methods such as get, post, head, etc., so that the application can directly read and write to the Web Server, and supports writing file locking (Locking) and unlocking (Unlocking). ), can also support file version control. [0003] In the early network world, file data was mostly transferred between different hosts using ftp. However, the problem with using ftp to transfer files is that the file data on the host cannot be directly modified. That is to say, when you want to change a file on the Linux host, you must download the file from ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with using ftp to transfer files is that the file data on the host cannot be directly modified

However, with these sharing methods, it is necessary to manually start and configure the server, and the management is not convenient and intuitive.

On the other hand, the configuration files of Samba (Server Messages Block, information service block) and NFS under CIFS and NFS are very large, but users need to configure many configuration items such as working directory, resource name, user, permission, etc., and the configuration is relatively complicated
