I want to know which is fast -->
FTP or SSH ?

It depends on what you are trying to do.
What are you trying to do? File sharing? Uploading? Remote shell? X11 Forwarding?
Please elaborate.
I want to upload and download some files from a remote machine.

How remote? Is it the local LAN?
Basically FTP will be faster no matter what, if you are only trying to trasfer a file to another computer.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol
SSH stands for secure shell (note the security)
Security is great, but it slows down the transaction, very slightly probably not even noticeable.

Welcome to The Scripts combas! Thanks for your response.
I agree entirely with your accurate summary of FTP and SSH, however, in addressing the second part of the question, there are a lot of other, quicker alternatives.
Samba can be used if the computers are on the same network. AFP is another protocol which is quicker than FTP. And if you want to get into really quick-and-dirty solutions, piping files through nc is going to be the quickest, dirtiest technique of all.

No its not the local LAN.
Its the distance of India and US .
You can use Secured FTP (SFTP ) instead of FTP.it is available in the net and you can download it. Some packadges include both SSH and SFTP.
With my regards
The answer is: both :) Use FTP to upload a Zip and SSH to unzip it there. If you don't have ssh connectivity you may use ZipDeploy.

whatever it is, FTP or SSH, it also depends on the speed of your network connections.

Can you tell me more about AFP and piping files through nc ?

AFP is Apple's proprietary network sharing. It works quite well, and there are utilities to use it on both Windows and Linux.
nc is the tool netcat. It is a very handy thing to know how to use.
On your server you would: -
$ nc -l 4999 | df of=filename.ext
-
and on the client you would -
$ dd if=filename.ext | nc server.com 4999
-
Be careful with this technique, as It is quite insecure. Anyone can send data between when you open the port and when the first connection closes.

Is AFP available in Debian ?

That means if there is a file transfer going on between two machines through a port and if a third machine also does some transfer through the same port then the file might get corrupt ?

Dunno. Google it.

No, it means if someone connects to the port before you, they could send anything and have it end up in that file.
Or, if they were watching your traffic, they could inject their own data into it.

But if someone is already connected to a port then how can I connect ?

No it will not corrupt. Each connection to the FTP daemon is unique because of different source ports.

So what is the problem with Netcat ?

The netcat example presented by Motoma is typically used for network disk (OS) cloning/imaging. For your questoin, he is best position to answer. With regard to your original question about which is faster FTP or SSH. I can only say based on my experience, they are quite the same and i am talking about using passwords. (SSH can also use public keys). If SSH is using public keys, it may be a bit slower in the authentication part, but after that the data transfer speed depends on the link.
You can use Secured FTP (SFTP ) instead of FTP.it is available in the net and you can download it. Some packadges include both SSH and SFTP.
With my regards
Well, AFAIK the SFTP does not means for "Secured FTP" but rather "SSH File Transfer Protocol" and moreover does have nothing common with FTP. It's completely different protocol. On the other hand the FTPS is FTP over SSL channel (similar to HTTPS which is HTTP over SSL channel).
