Method for performing a data transaction ( 200 ) with a server ( 108 ) using a portable computer ( 106 ). The method includes receiving ( 402 ) in the portable computer a portable transaction file ( 104 - 1, 104 - 2, 104 - 3, 104 -n) in a predetermined portable transaction file format ( 500 ) that includes two or more data fields. The data fields can contain a set of transaction parameters that define a type specific server protocol for a data transaction session with a particular server type ( 108 - 1, 108 - 2, 108 - 3, 108 -n). By using a generic data transaction engine ( 302, 303 ) a data transaction session can be performed with any type of server for which a portable transaction file has been provided.
