Abstract
A system and method for transferring a file from a client platform to a server platform. A procedure.sub.-- to.sub.-- invoke parameter is set equal to information identifying a file transfer procedure located at the server platform. A pointer in a first 'sqlvar' parameter is caused to point to the string representing the file, and a pointer in a second sqlvar parameter is caused to point to a file name of the file. The first and second sqlvar parameters are part of an input.sub.-- args parameter. A 'sqleproc' function is invoked at the client platform. The procedure.sub.-- to.sub.-- invoke and input.sub.-- args parameters are passed to the sqleproc function. The sqleproc function when executed causes the input.sub.-- args parameter to be passed to the file transfer procedure at the server platform, and also causes the file transfer procedure to be invoked at the server platform.
