When an image file exists in a folder determined to be the source of a file transfer according to the nth entry of file transfer data, a free space determining unit provided in an image processing device determines whether a work area on the hard disk meets or exceeds a required capacity. If the work area meets or exceeds the required capacity, a FTP client requests an FTP server to transfer the image file. As a result, an image file in a folder that is identified by the nth entry of the file transfer data to be the source of the transfer is transferred to a hot folder identified by the file transfer data to be the destination. Hence, by reliably allocating a work area required for image processing on the hard disk that accommodates the hot folder, it is possible to increase the stability of image processing without stalls and failures in the processing.
