摘要

A system, computer program product, and method for managing ASP documents includes requesting a transfer of an ASP document at an ASP user device connected to a remote document manager (60) and a remote ASP (10, 20, 30, 40) via a network (50/55) such as the Internet, establishing a predetermined time for effecting a transfer of the ASP document, and transferring the ASP document at a predetermined time via the network. According to one embodiment of the first aspect, the step of requesting a transfer may include sending a deferred transfer request to the remote document manager (60) via the network (55) when the ASP user device logs on to the remote document manager (60). In this regard, the user requests a transfer by inputting a deferred transfer option from a menu received from the remote document manager (60) via the network (55).
