In a web service system with one or more web servers, a system and method
for distributing content directly from each web server to a single
computer transfers files generated on web servers to a central location
for access by a system operator. If files generated by multiple web
servers are aggregated on a single computer, processing and analysis can
be performed on all of the files. Generally, in one aspect, the invention
relates to a system and method for transmitting content from one computer
to another in a web service system. The web service system includes web
servers that provide web pages in response to web page requests. First
and second web server agents provide an interface between the web service
system and first and second computers, respectively. The first web server
agent runs on the first computer and identifies at least a portion of a
file for transmission to the second web server agent running on the
second computer in the web service system. At least a portion of the file
from the first web server agent is transmitted to the second web server
agent and then stored by the second web server agent.
