Log shipping over a T1, best pratices

I successfully implemented log shipping but am questioning the xcopy function over a point to point T1. Would it be better to use FTP? The database file is currently 6 gigs in size and takes awhile to copy over. We are doing this with SQL Server 2000 sta
ndard, so we don't get the extra features that Enterprise Edition would give us, whatever they may be. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Denny
ftp is considered to be unsecure. Its performance is much the same as an
xcopy.
