Theoretically any transfer protocol based on TCP should be safe, not just nfs, but smb or wget also.
Only possibility to screw things up is latency; like with transatlantic / satellite connections.

Why would you say something like that about NFS? NFS is a network

think of any common protocol where transferring a file over the network
could affect the integrity of the data. Maybe netcat over UDP? :-)
