Using LFTP's mirror sub-system plus SFTP can be faster than all of the unencrypted protocols. It gives you the behavior of rsync, but can work with sftp+chroot logins and can spawn multiple threads per job or even per file. Working demo [1] I find it very useful when I want to give people the ability to transfer files quickly, but I don't want to give them a shell.
