SYSTEM CONNECTIONS AND USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium containing executable computer program instructions which cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- logging into at least one second data processing system (DPS) from a first DPS, the second DPS having a storage volume storing data;
presenting user interface objects within a window which is provided by a file management software program which displays files and folders in a hierarchical file system, the window being displayed on a display device of the first DPS, the user interface objects corresponding to sharing services, which comprise file sharing and screen sharing.

Abstract
This description relates to methods and systems for providing user interfaces on a first system for browsing other systems coupled to the first system. In one embodiment, a method includes logging into at least one second data processing system (DPS) from a first DPS, the second DPS having a storage volume storing data and presenting user interface objects within a window which is provided by a file management software program which displays files and folders in a hierarchical file system, the window being displayed on a display device of the first DPS, the user interface objects corresponding to sharing services, which comprise file sharing and screen sharing. Optionally, networked printers may also be displayed. Other methods and systems and computer readable media are also described.
