The most significant differences are in terms of security. NFS has none.
FTP has limited security - it does user authentication but all the data,
including the authentication, goes over the wire in plain text. scp secures
both the authentication and transport.
scp will incur some CPU overhead since it does encrypt, but given today's
processors, this is usually not an issue.
