Abstract
Embodiments provide a method and system for transferring data between different computing devices. Specifically, a communication session is established between a first computing device and a second computing device. The communication session may be established using a first communication protocol. The first computing device creates a virtual memory object which is bound to one or more memory blocks of the first computing device. A path to the virtual memory object is generated and the path is transmitted to the second computing device using the communication session. The second computing device may then read or write data directly into/from the virtual memory object using a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol. The data is written into and read from the virtual memory object using file system commands.
