Information
needs to be always stored in a safe and secure manner.As computers have become
an inevitable part of information processing, information is stored in either
the system’s memory or the in the devices used for secondary storage. The
secondary storage devices include a CD or the present plug and play USB
drive.
Another way of storing a file in a
secure method is to attach the file to your e-mail account. This helps you to
access the data at any time and any where access to internet is available.
Drawbacks of the existing system
Storing data in a secondary storage
device does not ensure any security. The data can be accessed by anyone who
handles the device. Thus it cannot be used for storing confidential
matter. The storage device also has to
be carried along with the person. If a thumb drive is used then the data can
get corrupted due to virus infection.
To store data by attaching a file to
e-mail account, one needs to log into the account, create a message, attach the
desired file and send it to themselves.
Attaching a file to your e-mail account puts a limit to the size of the
file that can be attached to one mail.
For example, a GMail account allows 2GB storage, but only maximum of
20MB file can be attached with one mail.
2.2. Proposed System
Split Manger allows protocol independent access to files and folders
with complete platform independence. It allows uploading of large size files.
It is possible by splitting the original uploaded file into several sub-files
of desired fixed size.Only the batch file containing the code for rejoining the
original file will be uploaded with the mail.The receiver can easily download
the batch file then by running the batch file the original file will be
downloaded in the background hence the receiver can also minimize the time for
downloading. It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in remote mails
like gmail. For that the user needs an account on the corresponding mailing
system.
Advantages of proposed system
Split Manager allows users to create an account and use the mailing
system. Also it provides a facility to access other mailing systems like gmail.
Compared to the existing mailing system Split Manager will be helpful to those
who want to attach large files along with mails. User can attach files of any
sizes. The user may not need to worry about the size of the file or bandwidth
of the network.
