The present invention relates to a migration of a file from a path
denotative NAS server to an ID denotative NAS server. In a file
management device according to one embodiment, a migration-use path
denotative NAS access section obtains a file deposit location from the
path denotative NAS server, selects a migration target file based on the
deposit location, and sends a read request with the deposit location of
the migration target file to the path denotative NAS server, so as to
obtain the migration target file. A migration-use denotative NAS access
section 44 generates a write request with the migration target file,
sends it to the ID denotative NAS servers, and writes the file therein.
In addition, the migration-use ID denotative NAS access section registers
a GUID received from the ID denotative NAS servers in a file name/GUID
management table, together with the file name of the migration target
file.
