No... Authenticated ftp sucks, big time. You're passing user-ids
and passwords over a session which can be hijacked.

Look into scp for straight forward copying of files.
For some fancier stuff, take a look at rsync. You can use
rsync with ssh with the command "rsync -e ssh" and use it as a replacement
for rcp/scp and have an amazing performance boost to boot.
To and from Windows, may be a problem... Technology can not
be expected to be a replacement for a clue.
