A method for transferring data files between processors in a linked network of computer processors, under applications program control operable in one or more of the processors, wherein a special applications program instruction is devised to cause the executing computer to process a utility program which identifies the data file being requested and transmits a request for such data file to another computer processor holding the data file. The computer processor holding the data file implements a special utility routine in response thereto, to first identify whether the requesting computer processor is authorized to receive the data file, and then transmits the data file to the requesting computer processor.

A method of transferring data files between computer processors linked together in a computer network, under application program control, comprising the steps of (a) designating one or more computer processors having data files stored therein as HUB processors; (b) designating one or more computer processors as RIM processors, each of said RIM processors having need for potential access to said data files; (c) assigning a unique identity to each of said RIM processors and said data files potentially accessible by said RIM processors; (d) tabulating the unique identities of all of said RIM processors and tabulating the unique identities of said data files in said HUB processor; (e) devising a plurality of special application program instructions for execution by any of said RIM processors, each of said special application program instructions having a portion containing a unique data file identity; (f) providing, in each of said RIM processors, means for decoding said plurality of special application program instructions, and for signaling said HUB processor with the identity of the RIM processor and the unique data file identity; and (g) providing, in said HUB processor, means for transferring data files to the RIM processor identified as a result of step (f).
