Title:
A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION OF FILES WITHIN A SECURED NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/082322
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method of distributing a file maintained on a first device in a secured network having at least the first and a second device is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide for file synchronization within a secured network without requiring any alteration to the security of the secured network by opening up ports. Each device is located on a tier of the network. The top tier of the network that includes the first device is accessible to network administrators. Network administrators may add files into the system and the network administrators may generate a file privilege file. The file privilege file can include configuration information for a computer on a tier and may also include information about which files the computer at a specific tier has access to. The network will then propagate the file privilege file down from the first device through any intermediate devices and then onto the second device. Once the file privilege file has filtered through the secured network, the second device may receive a copy of any file authorized from the first device via a connection in the secured network. The second device may also propagate files up to the first device. Thus, on a regular basis the file privilege file and files are transferred up and down the tiers of the secured network.
