The GZipStream classes (GZipOutputStream and GZipInputStream) should take care of the compression part. You can take a look here to see how you can compress files and this tutorial to uncompress the file. To upload the file through the use of FTP you can use Apache's FTPClient.

You can create zip file using ZIPOutputStream that is supported in Java.

take a look at here http://www.java-examples.com/create-zip-file-directory-using-zipoutputstream-example

Later on once you uploaded the file, you can unzip it using ZIPInputStream.

FTPClient in Appache Commons can help you in dealing with ftp. For zipping have a look at java.util.zip. I have used Zip I\O classes and found very easy to use
