Image transmission system that allows transmission of image file satisfying predetermined condition to shared folder, but restricts transmission of image file not satisfying predetermined condition to shared folder, and image reading apparatus

An image transmission system includes an information processing apparatus and an image reading apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a first controller generates, upon receipt of authentication information, location information, and restriction information, an access code using the cited information, and transmits the cited information and the access code to the image reading apparatus. In the image reading apparatus, a second controller stores the cited information and the access code, upon receipt thereof, in a storage device. In the case where an image file satisfies a condition indicated by the restriction information, when the information indicating the access code is received, the second controller transmits the image file to the shared folder indicated by the location information, using the authentication information, but keeps from transmitting the image file when the image file does not satisfy the condition indicated by the restriction information.
