Am I sending large amounts of data sensibly?

I am about to design a video conversion service, that is scalable on the conversion side.

The architecture is as follows:

  • Webpage for video upload
  • When done, a message gets sent out to one of several resizing servers
  • The server locates the video, saves it on disk, and converts it to several formats and resolutions
  • The resizing server uploads the output to a content server, and messages back that the conversion is done.

Messaging is something I have covered, but right now I am transferring via FTP, and wonder if there is a better way? is there something faster, or more reliable? All the servers will be sitting in the same gigabit switch or neighboring switch, so fast transfer is expected.
