Direct answer
When a control supports Ethernet file access, FTP or NFS can move large programs much faster and with better distance and error-handling characteristics than RS-232. The correct choice is still dictated by the control's supported protocol, security limitations, directory behavior, and whether centralized logging or remote-request logic is also required.
Practical checkpoint
Verify the exact control option and protocol version, then test listing, download, upload, file naming, permissions, and recovery from an interrupted transfer.
