Comment: Is the SECURITY aspect of NTFS and FAT32 as follows: With an NTFS partition you can set LOCAL file system security... meaning... you could restrict a user sitting at THAT machine from accessing certains files.. whereas with FAT32 any logged in user could access any file locally? Is this where PERMISSIONS comes into effect? Obviously.. this would not be the case over the network because the OS itself handles that security... Am I looking at this in the right way? Thanks,
Samson.

Reply: (edit)NTFS does provide local computer security and FAT32 does not. NTFS also does provide security over the network (if you are in a domain). With FAT32, you can set share permissions for the network, but that is all.
