Using FTP works nice for sending logs but doesn't provide
the sponsor with your e-mail address. Even if you include
it on the cover page it may not be looked at for several
weeks or longer. If you use FTP, always send a separate e-mail
message asking for confirmation that the file was received.
The sponsor can then easily reply to you.
