From a more classical sense (dating back to the Greek empire), the term myth regards a larger story, which involves a religious significance; more or less Greek mythology, which was stories of Greek gods and the origin of the universe.
Folktales are traditionally smaller, and would be equivalent to today's popular fiction stories. They were past down from generation to generation by oral tradition, so were not written down. The subject matter encompassed mostly fables, ghost-stories, and fairy-tales.
In a more modern sense, the therm myth is used to indicate the realm of urban legends; popularized stories, which are passed off as factual, but seem very unlikely. Folktales, on the other hand, have remained mostly the same and are popular in the form of Children's Books, Disney productions, and campfire/ bedtime stories.
