1. SFTP can be used with compression (-C option) but I don't know if it is used or not in Weewx. 2. I tried to compress all my weewx images with tar and/or gzip. At best I get less than 30 % reduction. May be it is just enough for you. 3. gzip (or better the library behind it) is in fact used by ssh, sftp, tar etc. So in your case you should just be sure to use compressionwhatever the transfer protocol.
When lines were very slow, the default was always WITH compression. Now, with much, much faster lines available, the default is NO compression, as compression would slow down the process...
