Abstract
Content that is stored on a remote server is distributed via a communications network. The distribution of the content, such as a document or pictures, is initiated via a properly enabled device, such as a web-enabled phone, handheld computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or personal computer. In this manner, a website can be used as a repository for documents, and the sender is not required to have physical possession of the document to be sent or have a locally stored electronic copy of the document to be sent.
