Abstract
A system or apparatus and method which provide the transfer of files in a network, thereby leveraging clients via an email is disclosed. The system or apparatus and method include a client machine readable medium, a broker server, and an attachment server. A user prepares and issues a request for a file on the client machine readable medium and sends the request to the broker server. The client machine readable medium verifies its identity with the broker server. Upon authorization by the broker server, the request is sent to the attachment server for the file requested by the client machine readable medium. A link to the requested file is sent in a transfer receipt by email from the attachment server to the client machine readable medium. The client machine readable medium invokes the attachment server and the client machine readable medium accesses the file via the link in the transfer receipt, which enables the requested file to be downloaded and received by the client machine readable medium.
