- [Scott] These three protocols are the ones you're likely to need if you're starting to work with file sharing on Linux. If you're setting up a file sharing solution, it's important to consider the security and accessibility needs for your environment. If you're sharing files with outside people, FTP is a good bet. If you're providing resources on a home network or a corporate network to end users, CIFS is probably what you'd want to use. And if you're setting up connections between servers on the same network, NFS is probably for you. I encourage you to set up some different scenarios with each of the different protocols and see how they behave. Each of these protocols have a whole bunch of configuration options and optimizations, so dig into the man pages for each of them and find out more. Good luck on your Linux learning journey. See ya next time.
