A lot of the speed will depend on the overall speed of the conneciton.

FTP tolerates a lower speed (lower than 512 kbps) better than file sharing
does.

VPN will be more secure, given overall randomness with ISPs, I would go
with FTP before the file sharing option. (Or even WebDav (FrontPage server
extensions) for that matter.
