Disclosed herein are a torus network-based file access path selection method for a distributed file system and an apparatus for the method. The file access path selection method includes acquiring, by a client, layout information about a file desired to be accessed, searching multiple data servers for an object data server based on the layout information, and determining a file access pattern based on a file access location and a size of the file, and setting any one of a shortest path for accessing the object data server and a secondary path having a hop count increased by one hop from that of the shortest path, as an access path to the object data server in consideration of the file access pattern and a bandwidth utilization rate for a network address located on the shortest path.
