Abstract

A system and method for uploading data from a customer system to a hosted system is disclosed. A stub is integrated with a firewall between the customer system and the hosted system. The stub includes an inbound layer on the customer system side of the firewall and an outbound layer on the hosted system side of the firewall, and the inbound layer includes a write-only directory. A demon is connected between the inbound layer and the outbound layer of the stub. The demon is configured to recognize newly received data in the write-only directory of the inbound layer, encrypt the newly received data to generate encrypted data, and move the encrypted data to the outbound layer for access by the hosted system.
