A system, computer program product, and method for managing ASP documents
includes requesting a transfer of an ASP document at an ASP user device
connected to a remote document manager and a remote ASP via a network
such as the Internet, establishing a predetermined time for effecting a
transfer of the ASP document, and transferring the ASP document at a
predetermined time via the network. According to one embodiment of the
first aspect, the step of requesting a transfer may include sending a
deferred transfer request to the remote document manager via the network
when the ASP user device logs on to the remote document manager. In this
regard, the user requests a transfer by inputting a deferred transfer
option from a menu received from the remote document manager via the
network. The step of establishing a predetermined time for effecting a
transfer of the ASP document may include inputting the predetermined
time, and sending the predetermined time to the remote document manager
via the network or requesting the remote document manager to establish
the predetermined time without sending a predetermined time to the remote
document manager.
