    FTP is about as fast as you can get.

    Security and encryption always make your speed less than it is now.

    Alternatives highly depend on what you want, so you might want to consider between these:

    • For download: HTTP/HTTPS is easy to secure, fast, easy to route/proxy
    • For upload: WebDAV is based on HTTP/HTTPS
    • For general encryption: SSH based communication (any protocol can be routed over it) incurs overhead
    • For syncing: rsync which highly optimizes transfers (it strips things already synced)

    Depending on your needs there can even be more options to choose from. Make your question more specific, and we can zoom in on the options.

    In my experience, for gaining speed, the network protocol is not the only factor.

    I have speed up things orders of magnitude by:

    • using switches instead of hubs (especially on 100mbit!)
    • using a gigabit instead of 100mbit network
    • using disk arrays (multiple spindles) instead of single disks
    • using SSD instead of HDD
