SAMBA implements Microsoft Windows (SMB system message block) file
sharing.
NFS implements basic UNIX network file sharing
NIS/YP implements basic UNIX network sharing
NFS-PLUS implements UNIX file sharing with enanced security features
FTP implements basic network file transfer using IP
HTTP ala Apache, can implement some browser-based directory tree file
sharing.
In all of the above, you should also be aware of the various security
conserns associated
with each file sharing method. Also some systems have "wierd" attribute
management
(i.e. SAMBA can use the UNIX/Posix file execute attribute bits to map the
Microsoft
file attributes of System, Hidden, and Archive). User.group.world
attribute permissions must also
be controlled.
