FTP from server or FTP to server for backups?

I'm transfering files to my system to have a real backup in my hands for client sites, etc.

The transfers are fairly large -few gigs. My question is, would it be better to leave the backups in one folder and FTP them from the server through SSH to my other system or would be be best to copy the files to a FTP directory and connect to the server and download the files from the server?

I'm not using anything like rsync at the moment, just FTP.
