FTP is a bit more reliable and efficient, especially for larger files.
It also allows finer grained programatic control.
However, it tends not to be quite as user friendly.

But there is another opinin saying that:
HTTP gives you direct access to the stream from within asp.net so its easy
to work with he binary object
What do you think about this?

HTTP transfers seem to be a bit more susceptible to glitches from my
experience.
Also, with advanced FTP functions you can resume interupted file transfers.

You can get direct access to the stream for FTP transfers too.
You'll have to write some custom code, or reuse some that's already freely
available on the internet such as these: http://www.mentalis.org/classlib/ind...t+%26+Networks http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/dotnetftp.asp
ASP.NET 2.0 will have improved support for FTP so less code will be
necessary.

From my experience, I see the opposite. I once had to write a service that
downloads documents automatically at intervals from an FTP server, and
handling all of the errors in the process took me weeks to write. FTP does
no parity checking, uses no checksums, and dropped packets are a regular
occurrence.
