Abstract
A data processing system having first and second data processing apparatuses and a data communication network supporting HTTP communications to which the first and second processing apparatuses are connected and a method of exchanging electronic files between the first and second processing apparatuses.A Web server is provided running a Web application implementing a Web service accessible by the first and second processing apparatuses through Web browsers. The Web application receives a file from the first processing apparatus, and sends it to the second processing apparatus without storing it in a Web server local file. The first processing apparatus accesses the Web service via the respective Web browser, and uploads a selected file from a file system local thereto to the Web server; under responsibility of the Web application, the uploaded file is received at the Web server and, upon request by the second processing apparatus, is sent thereto.
