what is the difference between samba and ftp server in linux?
please mention as many as differneces?

Answer Posted / chin

Using samba server we can upload,download and view a files.
where as FTP server we can only upload and download a file.

In samba server we have a printer sharing, but where as in
ftp we don't have such option.

In samba we need to authentication like we give a username
and password., In ftp we can acess as anonumous user and
athentication.

Practically ftp server is fast downloading and uploading
where as samba is comparetively less.
