• and
• a data request unit configured to request, of the server, acquisition target data based on the list of data transmitted from the server in response to the request of the request unit, and
• wherein the second communication apparatus comprising:
• a storage unit configured to store a reception side name in association with the reception folder associated with the reception ID and the transmission ID;
• and
• a register unit configured to register transmission target data by requesting the server to register the data in the reception folder,
• wherein the server transmits the list of data of the reception folder associated with the reception ID to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the request unit, and transmits the acquisition target data registered in the reception folder to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the data request unit.

A data communication system including a first communication apparatus as a reception side for receiving data, a second communication apparatus as a transmission source for transmitting data, and a server,

• wherein the first communication apparatus comprising:
• a notification unit configured to notify the second communication apparatus of a reception side provisional identifier containing a reception ID as an identifier for specifying the first communication apparatus in data communication;
• a reception unit configured to receive a transmission ID for specifying the second communication apparatus from the server based on the reception ID and the reception side provisional identifier;
• a request unit configured to request, upon receiving a transmission notification from the second communication apparatus, a list of data corresponding to the transmission notification of the server;
• and
• a data request unit configured to request, of the server, acquisition target data from the list of data transmitted from the server in response to the request of the request unit,
• wherein the second communication apparatus comprising:
• a register unit configured to register the transmission ID in the server in association with the reception ID and the reception side provisional identifier, and
• wherein the server comprising
• a notification unit configured to notify the first communication apparatus of a transmission ID of the second communication apparatus, which corresponds to the reception ID and the reception side provisional identifier,
• wherein the server transmits the list of data to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the request unit, and transmits the acquisition target data registered by the register unit to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the data request unit.

A method of controlling a data communication system which includes a first communication apparatus as a reception side for receiving data, a second communication apparatus as a transmission source for transmitting data, and a server, the method comprising:

• acquiring, for the first communication apparatus, a name of a reception folder holding transmission target data by requesting for the server;
• notifying, for the first communication apparatus, the second communication apparatus of the reception folder name acquired in the acquisition step in association with a reception ID as an identifier for specifying the first communication apparatus in data communication;
• requesting, for the first communication apparatus, upon receiving a transmission notification containing the reception ID from the second communication apparatus, a list of data corresponding to the transmission notification for the server;
• requesting, for the first communication apparatus, acquisition target data for the server based on the list of data transmitted from the server in response to the request in the list of data;
• storing, for the second communication apparatus, a reception side name in association with the reception folder according to the reception ID;
• and
• registering, for the second communication apparatus, transmission target data by requesting for the server to register the data in the reception folder,
• wherein the server transmits a data list of the reception folder associated with the reception ID to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the list of data, and transmits the acquisition target data registered in the reception folder to the first communication apparatus in response to the request of the acquisition target data.
