ABSTRACT:
Systems and processes of the invention allow a computer to connect to a server of an Internet site for executing an application program that is stored on a disk linked to that server. Specifically, processes are disclosed that provide a data transport interface for connecting to the server. The processes transport from the server a server address signal representative of a network address of the server, and a path name signal representative of a file system that includes an application program. The process further generates a mount request as a function of the path name signal and transports the mount request to the server to direct the server to provide an array of server file pointers that point to a file descriptor representative of the file system that includes the application program. The processes generate an array of remote file pointers, as a function of the server address signal and the array of server file pointers, and provide the array of remote file pointers to a program loader that transports from the disk at the server site to a local program memory element, a file block associated with the selected remote file pointer. The process can employ a redirector that translates requests to access remote files into HTTP compliant commands for collecting files from an HTTP server site.
