ABSTRACT:
There is provided an information processing system in which files on plural file servers having different file management manners can be efficiently accessed by a single client program, a control method for the information processing system, and a storage medium for storing programs for performing the control. A gateway program 20 is provided on a first server information processing device 120, and an agent program 30 which is operated in conformity with the gateway program 20 is provided on a second server information processing device 130, whereby a copy of the directory structure of files on the second server information processing device is created on the first server information processing device 120. In addition, at the time when the copy is created, data in a file are not copied, and the data copy is performed only when the file is opened by an application program 8a of a client information processing device 110.
