Which is best share option nfs ,samba ,ftp
 

Hi
I had brought a new segate network storage drive .Which all options of sharing such as nfs ,samba ,ftp .Can anyone help me which is the best one of use.

Well, it depend what you plan to do with your network storage drive and the context in which it is to be used.

Could you give use some information about that?

Hi,
i had planned to create a user account for our employees to save there data in network drive .I want to know which one is very faster in filetransfer

Well, after a few googling I've read somewhere that intrinsically nfs is faster, but anyway that is not the only thing to consider, IMHO, especially if you use a public network to make the transfers.

Then the speed will depend on the bandwidth, not on the protocol used. And security could be a more important concern than speed.

What OS is the server using?
What OS are the client using?
Is security an issue?

Normally for disk sharing between *nix systems, you'd use nfs.
Normally if server=Linux & clients=MSWin, use Samba

For file copying, use FTP (or FTPS ie FTP+TLS for security) or scp/sftp (both secure...)
