SECURE FILE TRANSFER SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Certain example embodiments relate to file transfer systems and/or methods that enable a single provider to offer to different customers customizable file transfer solutions that are secure, scalable to handle enterprise-level amounts of data, and able to meet customer-specific needs even though such needs are not necessarily known in advance. Once initially set up, the file transfer solution of certain example embodiments delegates management of the customer-specific instances of the solution, optionally in a sub-delegatable manner and, thus, the single provider need not be consulted after specific initial instance deployment time (e.g., for security management and/or other routine maintenance issues).

主权项

1. A secure file transfer system, comprising:
processing resources including at least one processor and a memory; and a non-transitory data store; wherein the processing resources are configured to:
receive requests from customers to establish top-level accounts with the secure file transfer system,in response to received requests:
allocate portions of the non-transitory data store for the customers making the respective requests, andcreate a dedicated portal for each said top-level account, andfacilitate transfers of computer-storable assets to and/or from users associated with the respective top-level accounts through downloads and/or uploads of such assets through the respective dedicated portals and using the respective allocated portions of the non-transitory data store; and wherein desired top-level account configuration details, including procedural approaches to be used in transferring computer-storable assets, whether client devices involved in transferences of computer-storable assets are internal and/or external to the respective customers, and aspects of how the top-level account will be managed in terms of user roles, are not known to the secure file transfer system prior to being deployed by the top-level account customers themselves.
