FILE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF

In a file distribution system, an information management unit (10) receives information of a data file version of a target terminal (2) together with information of the hardware type of the terminal (2) and directly references thereto, thereby deciding the file version and hardware type of the terminal, and a file extracting unit (11) selectively extracts a referenced distribution file from the distribution file based on the decision result made by the information management unit (10), and the reference versions of the distribution files together with hardware type information of the terminal are installed in the distribution side without installing the information of the file versions of the terminal.
