Method of transferring information over a computer network

Abstract

A user seeking to transfer files, folders or other information to a second user can do so in a simple two-step process. The user first selects the files/folders to be transferred, and then enters an e-mail address of the destination user. The files and/or folders are packaged together in an archive, which is automatically held on a server, and a message is sent to the destination user containing an encoded http link to retrieve the file. This links is a special one-time user link that expires after the file has been downloaded. The receiver runs the file, which self extracts the files and/or folders into a destination folder of the receiver's choice. This system makes the process of moving files and folders from one computer to another simpler and overcomes critical ease-of-use issues.
