FTP or NFS

[taproot420 <taproot420_(_at_)_myrealbox_(_dot_)_com>]

Hey guys / gals, I am needing to set up a fileserver for about 3 of us 
to share for storing stuff like mp3's, .iso's and other large downloads 
and was wondering which method of transferring files would be 
better....NFS or using FTP via a server on the fileserver and clients on 
the workstations? I have never setup a NFS server before so i am just 
curious about the advantages or disadvantages vrs. a FTP transfer 
methode...is NFS faster, secure etc?  I actually need to also give 
another user "windows xp user" his own drive, so if NFS was used, i 
guess Samba would work for the windows user.....correct? Before i get 
excited and install Samba, is it very resource intensive; I dont want to 
swamp the other users?


The Hardware set aside is:

500mhz amd k6-2,  256 meg pc-100 ram, 80gig ide ata/133 drive W/promise 
pci ata/133 controller

OS: OpenBSD 3.2 Generic

As always, Thanks for suggestions and the guidance in advance. I am 
greatly appreciative.

Have a Great Day.
