Abstract
A computer has one or more different device drivers, and one or more different devices are connected through respective device drivers. The devices to be connected include a storage device or an information processing device. In the computer, a file inside or outside of the computer is accessed in response to an access request generated inside. In the computer, based on data type of the file, which one of the device driver is to be used for the delivery of the file is determined. When a device driver used for the delivery of the file is specified among one or more device drivers as a result of determination, the file is transferred through the specified device driver to the unit connected to the device driver. Therefore, when a file is accessed in response to a request generated in the computer, the accessed file is automatically transferred and delivered to that device which requires the file, among one or more devices connected to the computer.
