A computer system and file storage/read-out method. When storing data
spread on a memory into a file storage unit, user .alpha.. assigns a
meaningful filename-for-user, such as "sales book for April." A storage
control unit converts the "sales book for April" to a meaningless
filename-for-storage, such as "RST123." The correspondence between the
two is stored as filename correspondence information for user .alpha. in
a correspondence information storage unit. A storage processing unit
stores the data with the filename "RST123." When user .alpha. is
presented with a list of filenames of the stored files from a filename
presentation unit, the meaningful filename of "sales book for April" is
presented as the filename since a presentation control unit performs
reverse conversion of the filename based on the filename correspondence
information, and the meaningless filename of "RST123" is presented to
other users. Security in regard to filenames can thus be secured, and
inference of the file contents can be prevented.
