what is the difference betweenh the NFS and FTP?

Answer Posted / mohan guduru

NFS - Use it in local environment when you've a local NFS server with installation files from your preferred distro. In this case you already have requested files in local and you just need to add another Linux machine to your environment. You've probably have a situation like this if you've a Linux farm and you just want to be quick when installing new machines

the installation method is nfs :
The required files will be retrieved (Copied) From an nfs share location first before they are installed.


FTP - Basically read Tamas info, from an installation point of view is basically the same. Reliable when dealing with big files due to its nature, FTP is born for transferring files.


If the installation method is ftp :
The required files will be retrieved (Downloaded) From an ftp server first before they are installed.
