Abstract
A management policy is given to a predetermined storage area by an administrator or a predetermined end user of end users as users of a plurality of client terminals. At this time, a file server generates a setting file in which the management policy is written, to set in a directory corresponding to the predetermined storage area. A write instruction (change data) is given by the administrator or the predetermined end user. The file server changes the management policy based on the change data.
