Accessing data on remote storage servers

摘要

This invention describes a methodology for accessing data on a legacy file server (or a remote storage server) by a communication device (e.g., a mobile device or a mobile phone) using an access gateway, wherein said communication device cannot support the legacy file system protocol. The basic idea of the invention is to provide an access gateway that functions as an application-level protocol translator in a situation when the communication device cannot support the legacy file system protocol for entering the legacy file server.
