A distribution managing server determines whether or not an image forming apparatus has already corresponded to an encoding scheme of request firmware requested by the image forming apparatus, and establishes a first communication path having a higher security level than that of a second communication path when the image forming apparatus has not yet corresponded to the encoding scheme. Then, the firmware providing server distributes a decoder module, which is applied to the image forming apparatus so as to correspond to the encoding scheme, to the image forming apparatus using the first communication path, and distributes the request firmware to the image forming apparatus using the second communication path.
