Inter-provider file transfer system and method

Abstract:

A network device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a file transfer request that includes at least a network location corresponding to a file to be transferred; determine whether the network location is internal or external to a network to which the network device belongs; modify the network location when it is determined that the network location included in the file transfer request is external to the network; and retrieve the file to be transferred using the modified network location.
