Depends on how much security is needed. FTP transmits in clear text making usernames, passwords, and data readable by anyone with a packet sniffer. Without having to spend money on a commercial product, SFTP will probably be your safest bet since the packets can be encrypted.

Just make sure you follow the setup directions exactly. SFTP can be a pain to setup sometimes.
