A set-top box file sharing method and system

Abstract

The present invention is applicable to the technical field of set top boxes, and provides a method and system for sharing a set top box file. In the present invention, a first set top box uploads a file identifier of a to-be-shared file and a first set top box identifier to a server, and the server stores a correspondence between the file identifier and the first set top box identifier that are uploaded by the first set top box; when receiving a file acquisition request which is sent by a second set top box and comprises a second set top box identifier and the file identifier, the server acquires, according to the correspondence between the file identifier and the first set top box identifier, the first set top box identifier corresponding to the file acquisition request, and sends the file acquisition request to the first set top box corresponding to the first set top box identifier; and the first set top box transmits, to the second set top box, the file corresponding to the file identifier in the file acquisition request according to the file acquisition request. In the present invention, it is unnecessary to upload files to a server and stores the files on the server, and files are directly acquired from a set top box end, thereby relieving the data pressure of the server.
