ABSTRACT:
In a general computer system or computer network, the ability to transfer (i.e., copy and/or move) files from a source location to a destination location within the computer system or computer network can be accomplished more efficiently by employing a file transfer operation that includes a read and write processes which can be executed concurrently or in parallel as two distinct and independent processes. The file transfer operation can be made even more efficient by transferring the file information in relatively large data blocks called "chunks", rather than one file at a time. Finally, the computer system's ability to respond to user initiated tasks during the execution of a file transfer operation is enhanced by employing a cooperative task scheduling technique, wherein a file transfer operation shares the computer system's resources (e.g., the CPU) with other concurrent user initiated operations.
