Either you do or you don't. It's hard enough understanding people's
questions without having unnecessary assumptions thrown about.

Your preference is entirely up to you. Personally, if it really was
"large amounts of stuff", I'd consider sending a tape through the post.

I think you probably ought to go and do your own homework, don't you?

I would rather go for rsync, it gives you a lot more functionality
over ftp,,,you may customize and do stuff like files to retain or
not...

There's really no reason to prefer ftp over rsync, except maybe that most
browser have ftp support but not always rsync.

If you are going to have many simultaneous transfers, you may not want to do
it over ssh as it will be too CPU intensive over a fat pipe.
