Or speed it up, with compressible data, by supplying the -C
command.

I think you can also ask SSH to use a faster cypher suite
(such as blowfish) if you are having significant speed
issues.

I find SSH much more convenient than ftp et al because of
this. In addition there's no nasty firewall issues / passive
mode madness as it all goes through 22; no ascii/binary
transfer distinction; you've got shell and file transfer
out-of-the-box and a rough-and-ready remote filesystem with
sshfs.
