It is determined whether the user computer possessing the ID to receive the file is currently connected to the main server of the present invention. (STEP F2)

At this time, when the user computer that owns the receiving side ID is connected, the file management server receives the transmission file and requests the receiving user computer to accept the file link. (STEP F3)

If the receiving user computer accepts the link request, the file management server transmits the file to the user computer for the ID to use. (STEP F5)

When the file transfer is completed, the file management server sends a message indicating that the file transfer is completed to the sending user computer. (STEP F6)

Receiving the message that the file transfer is complete, the sending user computer confirms the completion message and then completes the file transfer operation. (STEP F7)

On the other hand, if the user computer that owns the receiving side ID is not connected to the main server in STEP F2, the file management server sends a message to the sending user computer that the corresponding ID is not connected and performs a file transfer operation. Quit. (STEP F4)

The above-mentioned remote file management function of FIGS. 8 and 9 exposes the storage capacity limit of the floppy disk according to the increase of data amount due to the multimediaization of various documents, the difficulty of moving and managing the data of each user created on the PC, and the current email service. It was conceived from the limitations of the data storage capacity provided by the company, the increasing demand of users for the mobile computing environment using the network environment, and the lack of public dissemination due to the high cost structure of the mobile computer laptop.
