Abstract

Shared file access may be achieved in a computer network using the following steps; storing the file in the form of a plurality of blocks, delivering the file to a first client application by delivering the block contents to the client application, monitoring user editing actions performed on the delivered file in the first client application, during editing of the delivered file, locking a stored block which corresponds to the portion of the file being edited to prevent other client applications editing the same block, and updating the locked block with edits performed by the first client application, after editing of the locked block is finished, delivering the updated block to other client applications.
