FTP is the better route to go. It doesn't have the timeout restrictions that http does and it's got essentially two channels going, one for flow control and the other for the actual data. In an HTTP web server you can run into issues transferring large files if some packets are lost as there's no way to recover them or verify them. FTP was originally designed for the task, HTTP just does it because it's part of the package so to speak.
