[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the word "exemplary" or "for example" is used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any implementation or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other implementations or design solutions. Rather, the use of the word "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for descriptive purposes, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or a specific number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0043] First, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are exemplarily introduced.

[0044] In the use scenarios of computing devices, especially in the use scenarios of servers, there is a need to transmit files into the OS of the server. For example, a technician needs to transmit files related to firmware upgrade to the OS of the server, so that the server can perform firmware upgrade test using the files related to firmware upgrade, or a user needs to transmit files related to software installation package to the OS of the server, so that the server can install corresponding software according to the files related to software installation package. Therefore, the efficiency and convenience of transmitting files into the OS of the server are increasingly important.

[0045] Currently, in order to realize the transmission of the file into the OS of the server, the computing device can achieve the purpose of remotely controlling the server through the KVM component in the BMC management platform, manually start the virtual optical drive under the KVM, then the user manually selects a file under a certain address locally, realizes the purpose of mounting the file on the virtual optical drive, and then the user on the server side needs to input the storage instruction to manually operate the file mounted on the virtual optical drive to be stored in the OS of the server, so as to complete the process of transmitting the file into the OS of the server.

[0046] The BMC management platform is used for remotely managing the server. The computing device can log in to the BMC management platform through the browser, and input the account (such as the BMC address of the server) and password corresponding to the server when logging in, so that the computing device can manage the server through the logged-in BMC management platform.

[0047] Specifically, managing the server through the BMC management platform can include controlling the power-on, power-off, and restart of the server, or can also include detecting the states of the processor (central processing unit, CPU), hard disk, power supply, network, etc., or can also include redirecting the remote login server using the Internet standard (HTML5), or can also include viewing the system log of the server. In the implementation of the function of remotely logging into the server, the KVM component can be used to display the remote control page. The server being remotely logged into is installed with the BMC management platform, the BMC management platform includes the KVM component, and the computing device remotely logging into the server logs in to the BMC management platform through the browser to display the remote control page of the KVM component in the server being remotely logged into. The content displayed in the remote control page is the content in the OS of the server.

[0048] The KVM component can achieve the purpose of accessing and controlling the computer by directly connecting the ports of the keyboard, display, and mouse. Through the KVM technology, the server does not need to modify the software, that is, through the KVM component in the BMC management platform, the server can be accessed at any time, and the servers located in multiple remote locations can be directly accessed through the KVM component in the BMC management platform.

[0049] That is, the server is installed with the BMC management platform, the BMC management platform has the KVM component, and the computing device logging in to the BMC management platform through the browser can achieve the purpose of remotely controlling the server through the KVM component in the BMC management platform.

[0050] Currently, the process of copying and storing a file by a server-side user needs the user to manually send an instruction to indicate the storage location, and also causes the user to be unable to accurately issue an instruction to copy the file path in the case of not knowing the access permission of the OS to the file under each directory. Since the user needs to perform more and complex operations, the efficiency of storing the file in the OS is low.

[0051] In addition, the file can also be transmitted to the OS by remotely connecting to the OS of the server through additional software installed in the computing device, such as MobaXterm, WinSCP, etc. This results in the need to install additional software, ensure the existence of a business network port, and maintain normal transmission function of the business network between the computing device and the server, which has a high requirement for software and network. If there is a network problem, the file transmission cannot be performed.

[0052] Therefore, the remote control page of the KVM component of the second computing device can be displayed through the first computing device. After the first computing device receives the first operation on the target file, the first computing device can connect the local target file to the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component. After the second computing device detects that the target file is connected to the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component, the second computing device can mount the target file to the first directory of the second computing device and set the permission of the target file as a read-only file. Then, the second computing device copies the target file to the desktop directory, so as to achieve the purpose of transmitting the local target file of the first computing device to the OS of the second computing device, and enable the second computing device to perform normal read and write operations on the target file. By simplifying the operation steps of the user, the process of file transmission is automatically completed by the first computing device and the second computing device, which avoids the situation of file transmission failure caused by insufficient user experience or operation error, thereby improving the efficiency of file transmission.

[0053] Secondly, the system architecture of the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily introduced.

After the first computing device 20 logs in the BMC management platform, the first computing device 20 can receive an operation received through a keyboard, a display, and a mouse interface, such as a drag operation on a target file placed in a remote control page displayed on the first computing device 20 for remotely controlling the second computing device 30, through a KVM component included in the BMC management platform installed in the second computing device 30. Then, the first computing device 20 can access a virtual optical drive interface, the second computing device 30 can detect the file accessed to the virtual optical drive interface, and mount the file accessed to the virtual optical drive interface to a first directory in a server, and then copy the file in the first directory of the server to a desktop directory, and the storage location of the desktop directory corresponding to the file storage is located in a memory 32 corresponding to an OS run by a processor 31 of the second computing device 30.

[0064] Optionally, the computing device 300 can be a server or a computer device.

[0065] It should be noted that the system architecture and application scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of system architecture and the appearance of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0066] To facilitate understanding, the file transmission method provided by the present application is exemplarily introduced below in combination with the accompanying drawings. The file transmission method is applicable to the file transmission system shown in FIG. 1.

[0067] FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a file transmission method provided by an example embodiment of the present application. The file transmission method can be applied to a file transmission system, such as the file transmission system 200 shown in FIG. 1. The file transmission method includes the following steps:

[0068] S101, a first computing device displays a remote control page.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, the first computing device can log in to a BMC management platform through a browser and display a remote control page for remotely controlling a second computing device through a KVM component in the BMC management platform.

[0070] The remote control page can be a page used to remotely control the second computing device through the KVM component after logging in to the BMC management platform through the browser. The second computing device is a computing device to which a target file needs to be transmitted into an OS running in the second computing device. The second computing device can be a server.

[0071] S102, in response to the first operation, the first computing device accesses the target file to a virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the first operation is an operation of dragging the target file into the remote control page, and the first operation can be a drag operation performed by a user on the target file of the first computing device.

[0073] If the remote control page is a hyper text markup language (HTML) page, in response to receiving a drag operation on an element corresponding to the target file through the remote control page, the first computing device accesses the target file to a virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component through an HTML drag and drop interface.

[0074] The drag operation can be an operation of clicking the element by a mouse cursor and releasing the cursor at a specified position.

[0075] The target file is a file stored locally on the first computing device. That is, the target file is a file that needs to be transmitted to the OS of the second computing device and is currently stored locally on the first computing device.

[0076] The element of the target file can be an icon of the target file or the like that supports dragging. The remote control page can include a placeable element that is an element in the remote control page that supports identifying whether an element is placed thereon. That is, the placeable element can be a specified area in the remote control page for triggering uploading of a file.

[0077] When the first computing device detects that the element of the target file is placed in the specified area, a process of accessing the target file to the interface of the virtual CD-ROM can be automatically triggered. The drag operation can simplify the operation steps of the user and avoid problems of file transmission failure caused by user operation problems.

[0078] For example, the HTML drag and drop interface enables an application to use the drag and drop function in a browser. For example, a user can select a draggable element, such as an icon corresponding to the target file, using a mouse. The user drags the element to a placeable element in the remote control page, and releases the mouse cursor to place the element in the placeable element, that is, to place the icon of the target file in the specified position in the remote control page. During the drag operation, a translucent snapshot of the draggable element follows the mouse cursor. After the element is placed in the placeable element, the virtual CD-ROM accesses the target file corresponding to the placeable element by detecting the translucent snapshot.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the first computing device can access the target file to a virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component by accessing the target file to a storage space of the first computing device connected with the virtual CD-ROM interface.

[0080] For example, the first computing device determines to perform the first operation on the target file in the remote control page and reads the target file by using an HTML drag and drop interface provided by HTML 5 and a file API interface. When the HTML detects an interaction event corresponding to the drag operation, the first computing device can notify a virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component to access the read target file to a "local file" interface of the virtual CD-ROM of the KVM component and automatically connect the virtual CD-ROM, that is, a storage space in the first computing device connected with the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component.

[0081] S103, when the second computing device detects that the target file accesses the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component, the second computing device mounts the target file to a first directory of the second computing device and copies the target file in the first directory to a desktop directory of the second computing device.

[0082] In a possible implementation, in response to the second computing device detecting that the target file accesses the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component, the second computing device mounts the target file to a first directory of the second computing device.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the second computing device can detect whether the target file accesses the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component by using a device manager (udev).

[0084] The udev is a device management tool of an OS, which can manage device files in a / dev directory by listening to a kernel and can dynamically update the device files according to states of devices in the system.

[0085] In one case, after the second computing device detects that the target file accesses the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component, the second computing device can mount the target file to a specified mounting point in a first directory of the second computing device, and then the second computing device copies the target file mounted in the specified mounting point to a desktop directory for storage. The target file mounted in the specified mounting point is a read-only file.

[0086] In another case, after the second computing device detects that the target file accesses the virtual CD-ROM interface of the KVM component, the second computing device can mount the target file to a first directory of the second computing device, and then the second computing device copies the target file mounted in the first directory to a desktop directory for storage. The target file in the first directory can be set as a read-only file.

[0087] For example, after detecting that the target file accesses the virtual optical drive, the second computing device can trigger the udev mechanism to customize a response script, which is used to indicate a storage step. After the udev detects that the target file accesses the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component, the following three steps are performed: first, the second computing device mounts the file in a first directory, for example, the / mnt directory of the OS, wherein the file mounted in the / mnt directory is a read-only file; then the file in the / mnt directory is copied to a desktop directory, for example, the desktop (Desktop) of the server, wherein the file stored in the desktop directory supports read-write operation.

[0088] In S104, the first computing device displays an element corresponding to the target file in the remote control page.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first computing device displays the element corresponding to the target file in the remote control page, the target file has been transmitted to the OS of the second computing device and supports read-write operation of the target file by the OS.

[0090] In a possible implementation, after transmitting the target file to the OS of the second computing device, the first computing device can disconnect the connection between the target file and the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component.

[0091] Displaying the element corresponding to the target file in the remote control page of the first computing device can notify the user performing the remote control operation that the file has been successfully transmitted to the OS of the second computing device.

[0092] For example, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of target file drag-and-drop upload according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the remote control page 10 displayed in the first computing device and the display page of the first computing device itself, by clicking the icon of the target file in a certain folder of the first computing device and dragging the icon of the target file to the remote control page 10 and releasing the mouse, the first computing device can recognize the drag operation of the target file and mount the target file on the virtual optical drive. Then, the second computing device detects that the target file accesses the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component through the udev mechanism, mounts the target file in the / mnt directory of the OS, wherein the file mounted in the / mnt directory is a read-only file; then the target file in the / mnt directory is copied to a desktop directory, for example, the desktop (Desktop) of the server, wherein the file stored in the desktop directory supports read-write operation; finally, the action of unmounting and ejecting the virtual optical drive is performed. The first computing device displays the icon of the target file in the remote control page 10, which indicates that the target file has been transmitted to the OS of the second computing device.

[0093] In summary, the remote control page of the KVM component of the second computing device can be displayed by the first computing device, after the first computing device receives the first operation on the target file, the first computing device can access the local target file to the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component, the second computing device can mount the target file to the first directory of the second computing device after detecting that the target file is accessed to the virtual optical drive interface of the KVM component, and then the second computing device copies the target file to the desktop directory, so as to realize that the first computing device transmits the local target file to the OS of the second computing device, so that the second computing device can perform normal read and write operations on the target file. By simplifying the operation steps of the user, the file transmission process is automatically completed by the first computing device and the second computing device, which avoids the situation that the file transmission fails due to insufficient user experience or operation error, thereby improving the efficiency of file transmission.
