Abstract
Improved techniques for transferring files through a multi-tier computing environment are disclosed. The transfer of files across the multiple tiers of the computing environment can use staging at intermediate tiers to facilitate the file transfer. Each tier can include at least one computing machine that includes a file transfer manager. The file transfer managers at the computing machines in each of the multiple tiers serve to effectuate the file transfer through the multi-tier computing environment. In one embodiment, the multi-tier computing environment is a multi-tier file security system and the files being transferred are audit files.
