Abstract
A source node from the cluster of nodes, responsive to receiving the file sharing command from other applications on the same node (e.g., on a virtual machine in the cluster of nodes), copies the shared file to a source workspace directory and compress, and then copy the compressed file to the file sync database. The command comprises a configuration template with file retrieval information. A target node from the cluster of nodes, listens for commands from other nodes in the cluster of nodes. Responsive to receiving the file sharing command, the compressed file is copied from the file sync database to a target workspace directory and decompress, and then copy the shared file to node.
