Abstract

The present application discloses a file sharing method, device and mobile equipment. The method for file sharing, applicable to a first mobile equipment, comprises: fetching the sharing instruction directed to the file to be shared; performing network connection to a second mobile equipment that requests network sharing after starting the network sharing function of the first mobile equipment; intercepting and redirecting the browser-based network request sent by the second mobile equipment, and using the file to be shared as the result of the request corresponding to the network request and send it to the second mobile equipment. By using this embodiment, a quick file sharing is achieved without producing any network flow, without installing any software or plug-in having file sharing function in the receiving end of the file to be shared, thereby improving the user experience.

presenting a file selection interface for indicating the user to select the file that needs to be shared, wherein the sharable files stored in the first mobile equipment are included in the file selection page; and

using the file selected by user and needed to be shared as the file to be shared.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after fetching the sharing instruction directed to the file to be shared, the method further comprises:

fetching the sharing installation webpage of the file to be shared, wherein the download link directed to the file to be shared is included in the sharing installation webpage;

accordingly, sending the file to be shared as the result of the request corresponding to the network request to the second mobile equipment comprises;

sending the sharing installation webpage as the result of the request corresponding to the network request to the second mobile equipment; and

after receiving the download request sent by the second mobile equipment and formed based on the download link of the sharing installation webpage, sending the file to be shared corresponding to the download request to the second mobile equipment.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein intercepting and redirecting the browser-based network request sent by second mobile equipment comprises:

intercepting the browser-based network request sent by the second mobile equipment;

judging whether the network request is the preset first network request; and

redirecting the network request when it is judged that the network request is the preset first network request.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein intercepting and redirecting the browser-based network request sent by the second mobile equipment by means of setting rules of iptables in the operation system of the first mobile equipment when the current user name of operation system of the first mobile equipment is the one with administrator authority.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein intercepting and redirecting the browser-based network request sent by the second mobile equipment by means of mounting the written kernel module when the current user name of operation system of the first mobile equipment is the one with administrator authority.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein, when the current user name of operation system of the first mobile equipment is the one without administrator authority, further comprising:

after fetching the sharing instruction directed to the file to be shared, presenting a page that includes the IP address and the access method of the first mobile equipment itself, to indicate the user corresponding to the second mobile equipment to input the IP address of the first mobile equipment in the address bar of the browser of the second mobile equipment; and

accordingly, intercepting and redirecting the browser-based network request sent by the second mobile equipment comprising;

fetching the browser-based network request of the second mobile equipment via a WEB module built in the first mobile equipment.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein performing the network connection to the second mobile equipment which requests network sharing comprises:

indicating the user to select a sharable second mobile equipment from the second mobile equipment that request network sharing; and

performing a network connection to the selected sharable second mobile equipment.
