The file reproducing apparatus for reproducing files recorded on a recording medium by using a FAT (File Allocation Table) file system, has a cluster table which associates offset positions indicating the distances from the head of the file set at the predetermined offset intervals with cluster numbers indicating locations of the files recorded on the recording medium in which the data at the corresponding offset positions are stored. During a reproduction operation in a reverse direction which proceeds from the end of the file toward the head, the location of the data to be read is determined with reference to the cluster table.
