hi, If I understood you correctly, you want to update the client when an update is made in a shapefile right ?
First, I think you should use a spatial DB to avoid shared access problem. Second, you have to tell the client when an update has been made. To achieve this, you have to use server push. You'll have to search on this topic. If you're using open layers, you have to trigger a map refresh from the server (using server push). You'll also have to search on how to achieve this.
