SFTP or FTPS (FTP with TLS) would be good options. FTP is insecure, SMTP is a mail transport, SSH is a suite which includes SFTP, but isn’t itself a file transfer protocol.

FTPS is arguably better since it allows for PKI, meaning it can allow a user to trust an otherwise unknown server if it trusts the CA.
