Sharing files over an intra-network

Let us say there are three nodes, node A, node B and node C connected with each other (intra-network). There are some files stored in node C. Node A wants to view a file which is stored in node C. Assume that node A uses some protocol X to communicate to node C and vice versa. The question is when the file is being sent from node C to node A, does the file gets locally saved in node A or it is present in some temporary buffer of node A. In a nut-shell where is the file present in node A when I view the file from node A.

let's take webserver as an example:

  1. Node A is the client, Node C is the server in this case

  2. ues a broswer in Node A to access Node C

  3. when you just simply view the file list, the server only need to send the brife information of the files(name ,size .etc )

  4. if you download the file , it would finally be stored in the location you assigned.

  5. if you directly open the file with some other app, the file would be stored in the Temp File Folder of you Browser.
