Introduction • SMS has shown significant resilience in market that is bombarded with media that all add to the clutter of daily communications. • SMS is now accessible in many ways as a business tool. • Consumers have been first in adopting SMS as a means of communication, popularizing the protocol with a specific language and creating the playing fields that are now being entered by businesses. • There are a variety of business applications used in industries such as: • Mobile commerce and transactions • Internal communications among staffs • Field services and engineering • Billing information updates
Problem Definition • Files are scattered over multiple machines. • In case if user forget to take the file in pen drive or email the file, user is left with no other option but calling home or respecting location and explaining the person to navigate through the directory and mail the file. • Now if the person is not computer educated or does not know to operate the computer and internet than the situation becomes more difficult. • In this case the user may face many issues as he might not get the required file. • To overcome this problem, many developers have came up with the mobile app which will remotely connect to your desktop and transfer the file.
Problem Definition (contd…) • But these apps are limited to Smart Phones and they require active internet connection on their phones. Now if a user does not have a smart phone he will not be able to make use of all these apps. • If user has a Smart Phone but no internet connection, he is helpless.
Proposed Solution • The solution proposed is to search the file on remote machine using SMS. • To overcome this limitation of Smart Phone and active internet connection, our project uses a SMS as a medium to search a file on remote machine and if found, mails the file to user. • In this case, active internet connection is required only at remote machine where the client is installed. • The requirement of this project is a client must be installed on the Remote machine to facilitate receiving of SMS, parsing it, searching file and sending the file.
