Image input system including remote image input apparatus having display and external apparatus having storage means, and control method or controlling storage of input image information by remote control of file directory management for storage means

摘要

In a system, in order to allow transfer of information relating to image data and the like to a desired directory in a directory structure in a host information processing apparatus, without performing an operation at the host information processing apparatus, a directory-information management unit in a first apparatus acquires and manages directory information of a storage unit managed by a filing system of a second apparatus, and a display unit displays the directory information managed by the directory-information management unit. The user assigns a directory to which the image data and the like are to be transferred in the storage unit of the second apparatus, using an assignment unit.
