To enable access to a server via telnet or the like even if access to the server via telnet or the like from an external network is limited by a firewall. In order to accomplish this, first and second sessions are conducted between first and second information processing systems 2, 1 according to first and second protocols and, by relaying between the first and second sessions, a third session is established between the first and second information processing systems. A processing result sent from the second information processing system 1 to the first information processing system 2 is stored in a buffer 35 of a session relay system 3 and transferred to the first information processing system 2 in response to an update request. With this arrangement, even if a firewall 6 preventing the second session from passing therethrough exists on the first session, a session can be established between the first and second information processing systems 2, 1, and further, even such a processing result that is sent while the first session is disconnected can also be received by the first information processing system.
A session relay system that conducts a plurality of first sessions with a first information processing system according to a first protocol, and a second session with a second information processing system according to a second protocol, and relays between the plurality of first sessions and one said second session to establish a third session composed of those sessions, said session relay system comprising:
A client terminal comprising:
A session relay method that conducts first sessions with a first information processing system according to a first protocol, and a second session with a second information processing system according to a second protocol, and relays between the plurality of first sessions and one said second session to establish a third session composed of those sessions, said session relay method comprising:
A remote access method comprising:
Computer readable program code comprising:
Computer readable program code for implementing a session relay method that conducts first sessions with a first information processing system according to a first protocol, and a second session with a second information processing system according to a second protocol, and relays between the plurality of first sessions and one said second session to establish a third session composed of those sessions, said session relay method comprising:
