First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving from a first computing device at a target computing device a command string, the command string including a command and a path, the command defined in a set of commands recognizable on the first computing device and the path associated with the command and indicating execution on the target computing device, the path including a modifier;
in response to receiving the command string, interpreting the command as a second command recognizable on the target computing device but not provided by a set of command supported by the first computing device, the second command defined at least in part by the modifier; and
performing the second command at the target computing device.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to file management operations. One method includes receiving from a first computing device at a target computing device a command string including a command and a path. The command is defined in a set of commands recognizable on the first computing device and the path is associated with the command and indicating execution on the target computing device, the path including a modifier. The method also includes, in response to receiving the command string, interpreting the command as a second command recognizable on the target computing device but not provided by a set of command supported by the first computing device. The second command is defined at least in part by the modifier. The method further includes performing the second command at the target computing device.

14. A method comprising:
-
transmitting from a first computing device to a target computing device a command string, the command string including a command and a path, the command defined in a set of commands recognizable on the first computing device and the path associated with the command and indicating execution on the target computing device, the path including a modifier; whereby the target computing device interprets the command string as a second command and executes the second command, the second command defined at least in part by the modifier and representing one or more file management operations not provided by a set of commands supported by the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
