Or by zipping up all the file before FTP'ing them, assuming this is for a
remote backup application that could unzip them at the other end.

TFtpCli supports zlib, but TFtpServer does not, yet. 

One of the slowest aspects of the FTP protocol is file listing
sub-directory structures recursively, both commands changing directory
and the new data connection for each individual directory, which on one
of my multiple times a day jobs is over a thousand directories, often of
less than 100 bytes each.  

So I'm planning an extension to the MLST/MLSD command to include
sub-directories.
