Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for file association over a network. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for file association over a network includes determining a file type associated with a requested file and determining an uploader corresponding to a file type of the requested file. The method further includes executing the determined uploader in order to call at least one remote application associated with the file type of the requested file. In another embodiment, a system for making a file association over a network is provided. The system includes a file type mapper, at least one uploader, and an uploader data structure. In a further embodiment, a system for making a file association over a network includes a file type mapper, a universal uploader, and a universal uploader data structure.
