"Superiority" is in the eyes of the beholder, but more contemporary
alternatives would include WebDAV and SFTP (not to be confused with
FTPS) as mentioned by Javier and Peter.
WebDAV is rather straightforward to get going.
For illustration purpose, here is a pure Lua implementation, part of
Nanoki, a little wiki engine implemented in Lua:

http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/WikiDAV.lua
http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/WikiDAV.txt
Online demo:

Most modern OSs support WebDAV directly (e.g. davfs, "Web Folder",
etc). For example, in Mac OS X, the above URL is mounted directly in
the Finder as a shared drive.
Xavante sports a WebDAV handler as well:

HTH.
