Abstract

A cloud agent device including, determines whether the size of the file is less than the size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage, validating the verification request information of correctness, sending a affirmative notification to the first cloud storage and transfer the file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage when the verification request information is correct. The invention also provides a cloud storage and a file transferring method. The cloud agent device, cloud storage and file transferring method can efficient and accurate transfer of files in a safe condition.

Claims

1. A cloud agent device, applied to transfer a file from a first cloud storage to a second cloud storage, the cloud agent device comprising:

at least one processor;

a storage system; and

one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for;

receiving a command from a user terminal device to transfer a file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage;

logging to the first cloud storage and the second cloud storage and determining whether a size of the file is less than a size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage;

sending transfer request information to the second cloud storage when the size of the file is less than the size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage, wherein the transfer request information and a time stamp are sent to the first cloud storage and verification request information is sent to the cloud agent device according to the transfer request information, wherein the transfer request information is transferred within the time stamp to prevent hacker counterfeit, and a length of the time stamp is user-defined according to the size and importance of the file;

receiving the verification request information and determining whether the verification request information is correct; and

sending an affirmative notification to the first cloud storage and transfer the file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage when the verification request information is correct.

2. The cloud agent device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising instructions for:

sending a negative notification to the first cloud storage when the size of the file is greater than or equal to the size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage.

3. The cloud agent device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising instructions for:

sending a negative notification to the first cloud storage when the verification request information is incorrect, and rejecting to transfer the file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage.

4. The cloud agent device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the transfer request information includes a user login account of the user terminal device, a name of the file and a request token.

5. The cloud agent device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the verification request information includes the name of the second cloud storage and the request token.

6. A cloud storage, the cloud storage in communication with a cloud agent device and another cloud storage, the cloud storage comprising:

at least one processor;

a storage system; and

one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for;

sending transfer request information and a time stamp to the another cloud storage when receive the transfer request information from the cloud agent device, wherein the another cloud storage according to the transfer request information sends a verification request information to the cloud agent device for determining whether the transfer request information is correct, and sends a transfer consent information if the verification request information is correct, wherein the transfer request information is transferred within the time stamp to prevent hacker counterfeit, and a length of the time stamp is user-defined according to the size and importance of the file; and

sending a transfer validate information to the another cloud storage according to the transfer consent information, and receiving the file from the another cloud storage.

7. The cloud storage as claimed in claim 6, further comprising instructions for:

according to the transfer request information, sending a verification request information to the cloud agent device for determining whether the transfer request information is correct when receiving the transfer request information from the another cloud storage, and sending the transfer consent information to the another cloud storage when the verification request information is correct; and

sending the file to the another cloud storage according to the transfer validate information which is received from the another cloud storage.

8. The cloud storage as claimed in claim 7, further comprising instructions for:

rejecting to transfer the file when the verification request information is incorrect.

9. The cloud storage as claimed in claim 7, wherein the transfer consent information includes a verification result of the transfer request information and a request token.

10. The cloud storage as claimed in claim 9, wherein the transfer validate information includes a user login account, a name of the file, and a request token.

11. A file transferring method, applied to a cloud agent device, the method comprising:

receiving a command from a user terminal device to transfer a file from a first cloud storage to a second cloud storage;

logging to the first cloud storage and the second cloud storage and determining whether a size of the file is less than a size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage;

sending transfer request information to the second cloud storage when the size of the file is less than the size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage, wherein the transfer request information and a time stamp are sent to the first cloud storage and verification request information is sent to the cloud agent device according to the transfer request information, wherein the transfer request information is transferred within the time stamp to prevent hacker counterfeit, and a length of the time stamp is user-defined according to the size and importance of the file;

receiving the verification request information and determining whether the verification request information is correct; and

sending an affirmative notification to the first cloud storage and transfer the file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage when the verification request information is correct.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

sending a negative notification to the first cloud storage when the size of the file is greater than or equal to the size of the remaining capacity of the second cloud storage.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

sending a negative notification to the first cloud storage when the verification request information is incorrect, and rejecting to transfer the file from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the transfer request information includes a user login account of the user terminal device, a name of the file and a request token.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the verification request information includes the name of the second cloud storage and the request token.

16. A file transferring method, comprising:

sending transfer request information and a time stamp to cloud storage when receiving the transfer request information from a cloud agent device, wherein the cloud storage according to the transfer request information sends a verification request information to the cloud agent device for determining whether the transfer request information is correct, and sends a transfer consent information when the verification request information is correct wherein the transfer request information is transferred within the time stamp to prevent hacker counterfeit, and a length of the time stamp is user-defined according to a size and importance of a file; and
