A system and method for tunneling through a network separation device such as a firewall or a Network Address Translator including a first server receiving an access request from a client device to communicate with a host device, where the host device is behind the network separation device. The first server sending a message to a second server in response to receiving the access request, the message including host data for the host device. The second server is configured to send a notification to the host device, and the notification includes instructions for the host device to initialize a pass-through channel with the first server. The first server receiving a pass-through initialization request from the host device and establishing the pass-through channel for communication between the client device and the host device in response to receiving the pass-through initialization request.

On-premises data access and firewall tunneling

A system, method and computer readable medium for secure file transfer is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system encrypts a file; sends, via a secure channel, a packet to a group having one or more members, the group authorized to access the encrypted file, the packet associated with the encrypted file and including access information for the encrypted file; receives a first request for the encrypted file from a first requestor; and sends the encrypted file to the first requestor via an unsecured channel that performs caching, wherein the first requestor is able to access the encrypted file using the packet when the first requestor is a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file and received the packet via the secure channel and unable to access the encrypted file when the first requestor is not a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file.
