Abstract
In a download management system of the present invention, when a request of access to a data file specified by a URL is sent directly to a server 10, the server 10 rejects the access to the specified data file. When the user selects a desired data file to be downloaded out of a file list 22 on a display of a terminal device 3, on the other hand, a browser 7 installed in the terminal device 3 sends a file number 17 and a download request command 18, which correspond to the selected desired data file, to the server 10. A download management module 12 of the server 10 retrieves a URL of a data file corresponding to the file number 17 and transmits the URL to the browser 7 of the terminal device 3. The results of downloading are recorded in a management data file 14. This arrangement ensures sufficient and effective download management, which data file is downloaded via a network to what computer under management.
