Actually, key based authentication is more secure than passwords. Brute
forcing or guessing a key is an order of magnitude more difficult than the
same with any password, unless maybe the password is several hundred random
characters.

That said, rsync is the preferred method, and from a usability standpoint
passwordless is the way to go, especially if this going to be some ongoing
work. The only reason to ever use ftp is when there is no other, better
option.
