    It sounds like you should research what FTP is. The ability you require does not exist in standard FTP. Perhaps you want to connect to the server via other means and create a zip file? hint.

    You will need to research what the magic command is to make your FTP server zip up files and send you a ZIP file.

    Then you can use the ->quot method to send that command to your server.

    As marto already said, this is more a question into research on FTP servers than it is a question about Perl and Perl modules.
