Hi,

FTP - It is a file transfer protocol where the source system in this XI has to connect to any other system's particular location it requires connection parameters IP Address, port and you can have authentication in this case also.

Here the system need not be in Network also. You can access the remote system by providing valid userid and password, hence we require conn parameters here.

NFS - This protocol is used to access files which are present accross the network where XI also lies within the same network.

FTP connects to any FTP server in your network, but in case of NFS, it connects to your XI server. Hence in case of NFS, your files will be placed in your XI server itself and not on any other machine.
