Recording medium recording program causing computer to perform data transfer

Abstract

A data sending apparatus, on sending data to a receiving apparatus, searches its storage for a transmission method to the receiving apparatus. After sending data to the receiving apparatus, the sending apparatus receives from the receiving apparatus a transmission result including a transmission condition and capabilities of the receiving apparatus. When an error occurs during the data transmission, the sending apparatus reads the communication and processing capabilities of the receiving apparatus from the transmission result, and resends the data by a transmission method in accordance with the receiving apparatus. It then acquires the transmission result and stores the same in the storage.

1 . A recording medium recording a data transfer program causing a computer to execute a data transfer method comprising the steps of:
 sending data to a receiving apparatus by a communication method;   receiving from said receiving apparatus first information including a normal reception result and including a data receiving capability of said receiving apparatus; and   registering said information received from said receiving apparatus to a storage device.   
   
   
       2 . The recording medium according to  claim 1 , recording the data transfer program causing the computer to execute the data transfer method further comprising the steps of:
 transferring said information received from said receiving apparatus to and from another apparatus.   
   
   
       3 . The recording medium according to  claim 1 , wherein said data receiving capability of said receiving apparatus includes communication protocols. 
   
   
       4 . The recording medium according to  claim 1 , wherein said data receiving capability of said receiving apparatus includes communication attributes. 
   
   
       5 . The recording medium according to  claim 1 , wherein said data receiving capability of said receiving apparatus includes communication paths. 
   
   
       6 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:
 a sending portion sending data to a receiving apparatus by a communication method;   a receiving portion receiving from said receiving apparatus information including a normal reception result and including a data receiving capability of said receiving apparatus; and   a registering portion registering said information received from said receiving apparatus to a storage device.   
   
   
       7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a transferring portion transferring said information received from said receiving apparatus to and from another apparatus.   
   
   
       8 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said information includes communication protocols. 
   
   
       9 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said information includes communication attributes. 
   
   
       10 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said information includes communication paths.
