Secure transport gateway for message queuing and transport over an open network

Abstract

A system provides for the secure exchanging files with a remote transfer server over an open network such as the Internet. The system comprises a database storing file transfer parameters in association with identification of a remote file transfer client. The file transfer parameters include object destination parameters defining a processing call to a transfer server message queuing manager operating in conjunction with the transfer server. The processing call provides for delivery of the binary object to the transfer server message queuing manager in conjunction with a destination queue definition which provides for queuing the binary object within the defined queue for retrieval by a destination application. A transfer application coupled to the database comprises a plurality of file transfer methods available to remote file transfer clients making method calls thereto. The plurality of transfer methods comprise: i) an event definition method for providing to the remote transfer client the file transfer event parameters that are associated with the remote transfer client in response to receiving a method call from the remote transfer client; ii) an upload method for storing a binary object in a binary storage in response to receiving a method call from the remote transfer client that includes the binary object; and iii) a destination method for executing a processing call to the transfer server message queuing manager in response to receiving a method call from the remote transfer client that includes the object destination parameters, the processing call delivering the binary object from the binary storage to the transfer server method queuing manager in conjunction with the destination queue definition.
