An alternative to zip might be using tar with -cvzf options. This
combines tar and compress in one step. And tar (unlike zip) comes
with MPE/iX FOS. If your ftp is between two MPE systems, this will
also attempt to preserve MPE file attributes, I believe.

If you have multiple files to transfer, using zip or tar packaging
can also increase efficiency by reducing the number of separate tcp
connections needed (compared to an ftp mget or mput).
