1. A computer executed method of securing a file access request between a device and an external file server, said device executing a program, and said external file server being accessible by the device as a wide area network protocol location, comprising:
- operating a process that intercepts the request by the program to either access a locally stored file for upload to the external file server or to access a file residing on the external file server for download to the device, where the request designates the external file server location in accordance with a wide area network protocol;
passing to a security inspection process at least one parameter associated with the intercepted request;
executing a security inspection process on the at least one passed parameter; and
in dependence on the result of the security inspection process, either permitting or blocking the execution of the request.

23. A computer system for automatically managing the movement of document files from a first document storage sub-system to a second document storage sub-system comprising:
-
a module adapted by logic to execute a first file selection procedure using as input commands received from a user interacting with the system in order to select a document stored on the first sub-system; a module adapted by logic to execute a first application programming interface associated with the first sub-system in order to use the output of the first file selection procedure to submit to the first sub-system a request to obtain the selected document from the first sub-system; a module adapted by logic to receive from the first sub-system the selected document and store the document; a module adapted by logic to execute a second destination selection procedure using as in put commands received from the user in order to select a destination comprised of the second sub-system; and a module adapted by logic to execute a second application programming interface associated with the second sub-system in order to use the output of the destination selection procedure to transmit the selected document to the second sub-system. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
