I use file upload, it's faster than ftp because the ftp conection and login process takes a few seconds. You have to see that the permissions in each method are diferent. Some times you cannot delete a file copied with ftp useing the unlink() function unless you change the chmod. If you used the upload method you can use unlink() but not ftp_delete(). It has solutions but with a little of complexity. That's why I recomend the upload method and the functions copy() and unlink() for moveing and deleting files. You can use also the chmod() function with this method to change permissions.
