ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the present invention provides a system configured to enable a proxy to redirect downloads from a web server to one or more remote machines via a command issued from a local computer web browser. In one embodiment, a user accesses the web server with a web browser on a local computer, and uses the web browser to initiate the download from the web server. Connection and authentication information for the download is sent to a router/proxy which is connected to both the local machine and the one or more remote machines. The router/proxy redirects the download to a process running on the one or more remote machines, where the download is then saved. The web browser on the local computer is then notified when the download is complete.
