Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a time control unit configured to manage date and time information, a file acquisition unit configured to acquire a file, a recording unit configured to record an acquisition date and time at which the file has been acquired, based on the date and time information managed by the time control unit, and a transmission control unit configured to compare an acquisition date and time of a file to be transmitted to an external device with a current date and time managed by the time control unit, and, when a comparison result does not satisfy a predetermined condition, to prevent transmission of the file to the external device.
