Abstract
A mechanism is described in which data from a first application running on a first computer is stored for access over a network by a second application running on a second computer. In one aspect, messages are periodically broadcast over the network to indicate that data has been stored for transfer. A list is displayed identifying computers that have broadcast messages regarding the transfer of data. In one aspect, the data is part of a file rather than an entire file.
