Abstract: A method for transferring files between a client system and a file server includes receiving a location associated with at least one data file to be uploaded to a file server and a recipient list that includes an electronic address associated with at least one intended recipient of the at least one data file. A communication channel is established between the client system and the file server, and the at least one data file is uploaded to a file transfer account associated with one or more of a sender or the at least one intended recipient. An electronic message is provided to the electronic address, the electronic message including an interactive link to the uploaded file. The user interface modifies the recipient list associated with the at least one data file after the at least one data file has been uploaded to the file transfer server.
