The problem it solves

Moving files from where they are hosted to your company's file server usually means downloading them to your computer first, then uploading them again by hand. That extra step adds up when you are doing it regularly.

Who it fits

Businesses or teams that regularly need files moved from the web onto an internal file server.

How it works

  1. You provide the web address of a file
  2. The system fetches the file from the web
  3. It prepares the file for transfer
  4. It uploads the file directly to your FTP server
What you get

Files moved to your server automatically

Your file lands directly on your FTP server the moment you provide a web address for it.

What you get

The file placed directly on your FTP server, ready to use.

What you need

An FTP server with login access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
