1. An image transmission system comprising:
an information processing apparatus; and
an image reading apparatus, wherein
the information processing apparatus including:
a first operation device to which an instruction of a user is inputted;
a first communication device that communicates with the image reading apparatus via a network; and
a first controller including a processor, and configured, when the processor executes a control program, to generate, upon receipt of authentication information for accessing a shared folder, location information of the shared folder, and restriction information indicating a condition of an image file that can be transmitted to the shared holder, via the first operation device, an access code using the authentication information, the location information, and the restriction information, and transmits the authentication information, the location information, the restriction information, and the access code, to the image reading apparatus via the first communication device,
the image reading apparatus including:
a second operation device to which an instruction of the user is inputted;
a second communication device that communicates with the information processing apparatus, via the network;
an image reading device that reads a source document and generates scanned data;
a storage device; and
a second controller including a processor, and configured, when the processor executes a control program, to:
generate the image file representing an image of the source document, on a basis of the scanned data;
store, upon receipt of the authentication information, the location information, the restriction information, and the access code, via the second communication device, the authentication information, the location information, the restriction information, and the access code in the storage device, in association with one another; and
transmit, via the second communication device, the image file to the shared holder indicated by the location information, using the authentication information associated with the access code, provided that the image file satisfies the condition indicated by the restriction information associated with the access code, when information indicating the access code is received via the second operation device, but keep from transmitting the image file, when the image file does not satisfy the condition indicated by the restriction information.
