A network scanning apparatus, method and system enable scan data generated by a scanner or a multifunctional device having a scan function to be transmitted to any of a plurality of PCs connected to a network at a user's request. The network scanning system includes: an image scanning device which receives a scan request signal from a second terminal connected thereto via a local connection, generates scan data by scanning a document, and transmits the generated scan data to the second terminal; and the second terminal which transmits the scan data transmitted by the image scanning device to the first terminal connected thereto via a network. Accordingly, a typical image scanning device, such as a scanner, transmits scan data to a PC equipped with a network card via a local connection set up therebetween, and then the PC transmits the scan data to any of a plurality of PCs connected thereto via a network. Therefore, the image scanning device can use such a convenient network scan function without a requirement of a network card.
