A remote site downloading system is disclosed in which a local computer (151) establishes a session with a content server (154), and a content file and geographic destination drive are selected. The local computer is typically on a first access network (152) and the user wishes to have the file downloaded to a geographic drive, i.e., a remote site computer whose location and other properties are mapped in a mapping file on the local computer. The geographic drive is usually on a different access network in a dynamic location such as a hotspot or a fixed location such as broadband cable or DSL. The local computer is specially programmed to allow selection of the geographic target drive, pack information comprising cookies and a URL, and sends it to the remote geographic drive computer, where it may act as a proxy to cause downloading from the content server to the geographic drive on the remote site computer. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007 |
