The term "Nazi ghetto" is misleading. Nazis were not placed in a ghetto, but rather this is a term to refer to the "ghettos for Jews built by the Nazis" in comparison to the historic Jewish ghettos throughout Europe.
One of the fundamental differences between Jewish ghettos prior to the 19th century and those instituted by the Nazis was the size. The Nazi ghettos were larger in physical area, but denser in terms of population (because Jews from the countryside were pushed into the city ghettos).
A more noticeable difference was that the Nazi ghettos were completely sealed off from the rest of the city. While historic ghettos sometimes had curfews, during the day Jews could usually leave, do business, and generally interact with Non-Jews. Since the point of the Nazi ghettos was to quarantine the Jews from the rest of the population, they were unable to ever leave the ghetto. Concrete Walls and fences were erected in order to lock the Jews in and these were monitored by Nazi German soldiers.
Another difference was the leadership structure of the ghetto. The historic ghettos were given license by the Christian Kings to self-organize as long as they paid taxes and punished crimes perpetrated against Christians. This meant that the Kahal (Board of Trustees of the Jewish Community) made laws and helped organize the area. In the Nazi ghettos, the Nazis created a mockery of the Kahal called the Judenrat which was a council of Jews responsible for implementing Nazi policy within the ghetto and submitting lists of names for deportation to the Death Camps. The lack of Jewish autonomy and set up for the Holocaust are also key differences.

Who guarded the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto also known as flops?

not many, there were not soldiers in the ghetto, unless they were sent on a task. There were Nazi guards on the gates, so it will be about a gross or two.
Who was in control of the ghettos?
Every Nazi ghetto for Jews had a "Jewish council" ("Judenrat"). These were responsible for the day-to-day running of the ghettos and were appointed by Nazis. One of the initial attractions of this was that the Jewish council was in charge of policing the ghetto, which was preferable to being policed by the SS. However, the Jewish council was also in charge of food distribution, which sometimes led to violence ... Later, the Jewish councils were ordered to supply the Nazis with lists of people for deportation ... A few Jewish councils were very brave (Lemberg, for example), some found themselves collaborating, and most were somewhere in between these two extremes.

What is the difference between a Jewish ghetto and a Nazi ghetto?
Traditional ghettos were seen as permanent places for Jews to live (separated from the rest of the population). The Nazis, on the other hand, saw the ghettos as temporary - as staging posts in the Final Solution. The last 'traditional' Jewish ghetto - that in Rome - had been opened (liberated) in 1870. The Nazis reintroduced ghettos for Jews in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in 1939-41 and deliberately kept the food and water supplies inadequate.
