Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of copying files at a high speed when accesses to both of a local memory physically connected to an access device and a remote memory connected via a wireless network. A file copy controller in the access device generates a FS transfer list in which logical address positions of copy sources and logical address positions of copy destinations are stored, based on file system management information of the local memory and an access list, obtained from another access device, of the remote memory, and inputs the FS transfer list to a non-volatile memory controller connected to the local memory. The non-volatile memory controller copies data between the local memory and the remote memory based on the information stored in the FS transfer list without using a CPU in the access device or an internal bus connected to the CPU.
