Data communication apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor
First Claim
1. A data communication apparatus comprising:
- a processor connected to a memory, the processor being configured to perform;
a scanning function of scanning an original image;
a setting function of setting an address of a file server on a network as a transmission destination for transmitting a file corresponding to the original image scanned by said scanning function;
an obtaining function of obtaining authentication information to be used for authentication of the file server, the authentication information being inputted at the time of a login to the data communication apparatus or being inputted at the time of the setting of the transmission destination;
a transmission function of transmitting the file to the file server designated by the transmission destination in a case that the authentication of the file server is successful on a basis of the authentication information;
a registration function of registering the transmission destination set by said setting function and the authentication information obtained by said obtaining function; and
a control function of prohibiting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the login to the data communication apparatus, and permitting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the setting of the destination.

Abstract
A data communication apparatus that is capable of improving operability when inputting authentication information. An authentication unit accepts authentication information inputted when a user logs in to the data communication apparatus and authenticates the user based on the accepted authentication information. A designation unit designates a file transmission destination that is inputted by the authenticated user. A transmission unit transmits a file to the transmission destination inputted. A registration unit registers the transmission destination of the file. A control unit prohibits registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the accepted authentication information is used for file transmission, and permits registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the inputted authentication information is not used for file transmission.

5. A control method for a data communication apparatus, comprising:
-
a scanner step of scanning an original image; a setting step of setting an address of a file server on a network as a transmission destination for transmitting a file corresponding to the original image scanned by said scanning step; an obtaining step of obtaining authentication information to be used for authentication of the file server, the authentication information being inputted at the time of a login to the data communication apparatus or being inputted at the time of the setting of the transmission destination; a transmission step of transmitting the file to the file server designated by the transmission destination in a case that the authentication of the file server is successful on a basis of the authentication information; a registration step of registering the transmission destination set by said setting step and the authentication information obtained by said obtaining step; a prohibition step of prohibiting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the login to the data communication apparatus; and a permission step of permitting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the setting of the destination.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for a data communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
-
a scanner step of scanning an original image; a setting step of setting an address of a file server on a network as a transmission destination for transmitting a file corresponding to the original image scanned by said scanning step; an obtaining step of obtaining authentication information to be used for authentication of the file server, the authentication information being inputted at the time of a login to the data communication apparatus or being inputted at the time of the setting of the transmission destination; a transmission step of transmitting the file to the file server designated by the transmission destination in a case that the authentication of the file server is successful on a basis of the authentication information; a registration step of registering the transmission destination set by said setting step and the authentication information obtained by said obtaining step; a prohibition step of prohibiting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the login to the data communication apparatus; and a permission step of permitting registration of the authentication information if the authentication information is inputted at the time of the setting of the destination.
