For my ftp transfers I have been using WinZip v-10 (now v-11). Not only does it compress the files, it offers some real strong encryption (not just password protection) as well. My concern is not only transmitting smaller files, but in a manner that anyone who may intercept "clear text" file transmission with the ftp protocol will not get anything useful without knowing the password needed to decrypt the data.
There are some freeware Zip/Encrypt solutions out there, but I like using the command line options with WinZip so I can automate all of my upload/download activity for myself and client machinery. The command line option requires an add-on program, that is downloadable from WinZip for free.
