downloading files and store.

Hello All,
I need a tool that can compress log files on windows xp machines and then send it via FTP to server in office. Is there such a tool. I connect to this machines via VPN. I would like to define file name format to distinguish and avoid overwriting of file. This are log files so if zip utility is included that would be wonderful. Sharewares are ok too. This task happens during off hours once a week.

Could probably script such a tool - would that be an option for you?

Provide a sample of where the files are, their names, and where you want them put and we can come up with a script. Basically, just a batch file.

Here is the thing,

Machines are located in Europe and storage machines are here in states. I need to let's say get all files from C:\logs\*.log and zip them in windows and login to ftp site and put it there. How would I do that?

I am not sure if it's clear let me know if more info is needed. I am much more experience on linux side so I can do Linux cron jobs to then back to tapes or external drives but I need help with batch file to zipping and ftp'ing part of the process.
