Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing a file request from an application program, such as a web browser. A file is maintained in a storage device accessible to a computer system. The file is capable of being accessed through a file system. A network connection is established with the application program using a network protocol. A request for the file is received from the application program via the network connection. A determination is then made as to whether the application program is executing in the computer system including the file system. If not, the file is transmitted over the network connection to the application program. Otherwise, the file is provided to the application program through the file system. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which illustrate several embodiments of the present invention.
It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Computing Environment FIGS.
1 and 2 illustrate computing environments in which preferred embodiments of the present invention are implemented.
A client computer 2 is in communication with a server 4.
The client 2 includes TSM client software 6 and the server 4 includes TSM server 8 software.
The TSM client 6 allows data maintained in files and application programs within the client 2 to be transferred to the TSM server 8 for backup, archive, and migration in storage device 10, which may be any non-volatile storage device known in the art.
With respect to FIG.
1, a remote computer 12 is capable of communicating with the client 2.
The remote computer 12 includes a web browser 14 program, which may be any web browser program known in the art, e.
g.
, NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR and MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER, that is JAVA compatible.
** The client 2, server 4, and remote computer 12 may communicate using any network communication means known in the art, including LAN, Ethernet, WAN, System Area Network (SAN), Token Ring, LocalTalk, TCP/IP, the Internet, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.
"HTTPS" is short for Secure Sockets Layer, which is the protocol for transferring private documents over the Internet using an encryption scheme.
The client 2 farther maintains a copy of a web client applet 16.
The client 2 serves the web client applet 16 to web browser 14 running on remote computer 12 to allow the web browser 14 to interface with the TSM client 6 to perform backup, archive, restore, retrieve, migration, and recall operations.
These remote operations are capable of causing the TSM client 6 to perform an operation with respect to the TSM server 8
