  • Patent number: 8122490
    Abstract: A method for automatically transferring a data file from a network drive of a client controlled local area network to a transfer server over the Internet comprises using a first workstation to configure event parameters within event tables of the transfer server. An unattended interface module executed by a processor of a second workstation obtains, from the transfer server, the event parameters stored in the event tables. The event parameters comprise a file name and a directory path. The file name identifies the data file to be uploaded. The directory path identifies an upload directory of the network drive. The second workstation periodically searches the upload directory and, upon locating a data file in the upload directory with the file name, transfers the data file to the transfer server over a secure connection established with the transfer server over the internet.

  • Patent number: 7603431
    Abstract: A system provides for the secure exchanging files with a remote transfer server over an open network such as the Internet. The system comprises a database storing file transfer parameters in association with identification of a remote file transfer client. The file transfer parameters include object destination parameters defining a processing call to a transfer server message queuing manager operating in conjunction with the transfer server. The processing call provides for delivery of the binary object to the transfer server message queuing manager in conjunction with a destination queue definition which provides for queuing the binary object within the defined queue for retrieval by a destination application. A transfer application coupled to the database comprises a plurality of file transfer methods available to remote file transfer clients making method calls thereto.

  • Patent number: 7565422
    Abstract: A transfer client system exchanges files with a transfer server over an open network such as the Internet. The transfer client comprises an upload directory for storing files for subsequent transfer to the transfer server, an authentication registry securely storing authentication credentials, and a transfer client. The transfer client sends a log-on message to a remote transfer server over a secure transport protocol logical connection established over the open network. The log-on message includes the authentication credentials. In response the transfer client receives a session ID from the remote transfer server. The transfer client then sends a read event message to the remote transfer server which includes Session ID obtained from the remote transfer server. In response the transfer client obtains event parameters which include identification of a file name and an upload directory path previously stored in an events parameter table.

  • Patent number: 7536435
    Abstract: A transfer client system exchanges files with a transfer server over an open network such as the Internet. The transfer client comprises a download directory for storing binary objects obtained from a transfer client server for subsequent retrieval by a local data processing system. The transfer client sends a log-on message to a remote transfer server over the open network, the log-on message including the authentication credentials. In response a session ID is obtained from the remote transfer server. The transfer client further sends a read event message to the remote transfer server over the open network, the read event message including the session ID. Event parameters are returned in response, the event parameters comprise identification of a file name and identification of the download directory. The transfer client sends a download message to the remote transfer server over the open network, the download message comprises the session ID and identification of a binary object.

  • Patent number: 7502754
    Abstract: A system provides for the secure exchanging files with a remote transfer server over an open network such as the Internet. The system comprises a database with file transfer tables, a hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) server, and a web services server. The HTTP server is coupled to the database and provides web pages to an HTTP client to obtain file transfer event parameters and identification of a remote file transfer client to which the file transfer event parameters are associated. The file transfer event parameters are stored in the file transfer tables in association with the identification of the remote file transfer client. The web services server comprising a plurality of transfer methods.
