1.  Install wu-ftpd.
2.  Copy gzip and tar into ~ftp/bin so the public can get at it.
3.  Configure /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess to enable compression:

compress        yes             all local remote
tar             yes             all local remote

4.  Configure ftpconversions as follows:

#ftpconverions file
 :.Z:  :  :/bin/gzip -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
 :   : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
 :.gz: :  :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
 :   : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
 :   : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
 :   : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - 
%s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS  { don't wrap this line 
 :   : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f -
%s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP      { don't wrap this line

Hope this helps.
