No, FTP is a protocol. It describes how the file transfer takes place. If posting it to Sharepoint was an easy option I would just do that since you have it. Whatever time you save in seconds by going through the whole FTP thing is wasted in efficiency.

I don't really want to get into a long discussion about Information Management here but if that Document is something that is regularly needed then hanging it on Sharepoint in a manner that makes it easy for people to find the documents they're interested without regularly interrupting you for it is the best bet. E-mail is really a very inefficient information management medium.

Bottom line is that you have a Content Management System at work. If you're able to set up a site for your office group then do that and hang the regular documents that you and your co-workers collaborate on so they always know where to go to get the latest version and don't have to wrangle about protocols and time savings.
