You will probably find (as I have) that rsync works *much* better than FTP. The protocol is cleaner and more secure. The biggest benefit is that rsync sends only the bits that changed, instead of ALL the bits. That means the connection doesn't have to stay active as long, and you transfer a fraction of the data. Plus you can set compression to even further reduce the bandwidth requirements.
