Abstract

A method and a system for obtaining a file are provided by this invention which adapts to computer field. The method includes the following steps: obtaining a file size of a target file; determining whether the file size of the target file is larger than a maximum file size transfer limit; and if yes, obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained, wherein the file segment is segmented from the target file according to the maximum file size transfer limit.

Claims

1. A method for obtaining a file, comprising:

obtaining a file size of a target file;

determining whether the file size of the target file is larger than a maximum file size transfer limit; and

if yes, obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained, wherein the file segment is segmented from the target file according to the maximum file size transfer limit.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining a file size of a target file comprises:

sending a request information to a server for obtaining the file size of the target file; and

receiving a response information sending back from the server according to the request information, and obtaining the file size of the target file from a message header information of the response information.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step of obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained comprises:

requesting for obtaining a file segment;

once the file segment being obtained, determining whether a remaining size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, wherein the remaining size is a file size of the target file removing the part has been obtained;

if the remaining size is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, obtaining another file segment; and

if the remaining size is smaller than or equal to the maximum file size transfer limit, obtaining the target file removing the part has been obtained.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining a file size of a target file comprises:

sending a request information to a server for obtaining a first file segment of the target file, wherein the request information further comprises a request for obtaining the file size of the target file and a size of the first file segment; and

obtaining the first file segment and receiving a response information sending back from the server according to the request information, wherein the response information comprises the file size of the target file and the size of the first file segment.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step of obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained, comprises:

requesting for an un-obtained file segment;

once the un-obtained file segment being obtained, determining whether a remaining size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, wherein the remaining size is a file size of the target file removing the part has been obtained;

if the remaining size is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, obtaining another file segment; and

if the remaining size is smaller than or equal to the maximum file size transfer limit, obtaining the target file removing the part has been obtained.

6. A device for obtaining a file, comprising:

a first obtaining module, configured to obtain a file size of a target file;

a determining module, configured to determine whether the file size of the target file is larger than a maximum file size transfer limit; and

a second obtaining module, if the file size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, the second obtaining module configured to obtain a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained, wherein the file segment is segmented from the target file according to the maximum file size transfer limit.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first obtaining module comprises:

a sending unit, configured to send a request information to a server for obtaining the file size of the target file; and

a receiving unit, configured to receive a response information sending back from the server according to the request information, and obtaining the file size of the target file from a message header information of the response information.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the sending unit is further configured to send a request information to a server for obtaining a file segment, once the second obtaining module obtains one file segment, the determining module is further configured to determine whether a remaining size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, wherein the remaining size is a file size of the target file removing the part has been obtained;

if the remaining size is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, the second obtaining module is further configured to obtain another file segment; and

if the remaining size is smaller than or equal to the maximum file size transfer limit, the second obtaining module is further configured to obtain the target file removing the part has been obtained.

9. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first obtaining module comprises:

a sending unit, configured to send a request information to a server for obtaining a first file segment of the target file, wherein the request information further comprises a request for obtaining the file size of the target file and a size of the first file segment; and

a receiving unit, configured to obtain the first file segment and receive a response information sending back from the server according to the request information, wherein the response information comprises the file size of the target file and the size of the first file segment.

10. The device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the sending unit is further configured to send a request information to a server for obtaining an un-obtained file segment, once one un-obtained file segment being obtained, the determining module is further configured to determine whether a remaining size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, wherein the remaining size is a file size of the target file removing the part has been obtained;

if the remaining size is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, the second obtaining module is further configured to obtain another file segment; and

if the remaining size is smaller than or equal to the maximum file size transfer limit, the second obtaining module is further configured to obtain the target file removing the part has been obtained.

11. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for obtaining a file, the instructions comprising:

obtaining a file size of a target file;

determining whether the file size of the target file is larger than a maximum file size transfer limit; and

if yes, obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained, wherein the file segment is segmented from the target file according to the maximum file size transfer limit.

12. The computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 11, wherein the step of obtaining a file size of a target file comprises:

sending a request information to a server for obtaining the file size of the target file; and

receiving a response information sending back from the server according to the request information, and obtaining the file size of the target file from a message header information of the response information.

13. The computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 12, wherein the step of obtaining a file segment of the target file each time, until the entire target file being obtained comprises:

requesting for obtaining a file segment;

once the file segment being obtained, determining whether a remaining size of the target file is larger than the maximum file size transfer limit, wherein the remaining size is a file size of the target file removing the part has been obtained;
