Remote access and retrieval of electronic files
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for providing remote data directory structure management capabilities to a requestor across a communications network comprising:
- receiving a first request over the communications network, wherein the first request is for management of data directory structures recorded on a memory;
identifying data directory structures accessible by querying a profile data store, wherein a single data directory structure is selected from among a plurality of data directory structures associated with the profile data store;
providing data directory structure information related to the single data directory structure by the computing device;
receiving a second request, the second request indicating a data file within the single data directory structure and an electronic address associated with a user other than the requestor;
sending the data file to the electronic address via a designated data file delivery mode without sending the data file to the requestor;
generating a notification of delivery of the data file to the electronic address upon delivery of the data file;
sending the notification of delivery via a designated notification delivery mode;
receiving a third request indicating a modification to the single data directory structure;
andmodifying the single data directory structure in accordance with the third request.

Abstract
A system and methods for remotely accessing, retrieving, and transmitting data offering remote data management control and verification of data delivery is provided. In an illustrative implementation, the present invention comprises a computing application operating on at least one computer server that cooperates with at least one communications network to which participating users have access. The exemplary computing application coordinates the delivery of desired data its corresponding data directory structure information to participating users over the communications network. The methodology may provide notification of delivery of data to intended targets using the communications network.
