Theoretically any transfer protocol based on TCP should be safe, not just nfs, but smb or
wget also.
Only possibility to screw things up is latency; like with transatlantic / satellite
connections.

you should still be able to with the "dd" command. Issue a "mount"

Why would you say something like that about NFS? NFS is a network
filesystem that has been used since before Linux even existed. I can't
think of any common protocol where transferring a file over the network
could affect the integrity of the data. Maybe netcat over UDP? :-)
