Abstract

A file transferring method is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a send request for a selection of one or more media files from a first cell phone, wherein the send request comprises an identification (ID) or a title of each media file selected, and a recipient cell phone number; generating a receive request corresponding to the send request, and transmitting the receive request to the recipient cell phone, wherein the receive request comprises a number of the first cell phone, the ID code or the title of each media file selected, and a location indicating where each media file content is stored; and transmitting the media files selected to the recipient cell phone when the recipient cell phone establishes a data connection. A corresponding system is also provided.
