AFP vs SMB

Posted:

I have two small questions:-



1. If I connect to a remote server using afp://ipnumber



Are the user name and password encripted or sent as plain text?



2. Why can I connect using afp://ipnumber but not smb://ipnumber is this an Apple perculality? If I add the ipaddress to a hosts file and then use smb://hostmane it can connect.



If the answer to question 2 is that it is a bug is it going to be fixed in 10.2?
