I see this post is old , i hope you have solved it by now, but in case jfyi
1) use split to chop your files before ftp (binary)
2) be aware of problems using a windows filesystem with unix backups, you may need to use dos2unix to correct problems if your zipped files seem corrupted.
3) Obviously ftping 20Mb of data isn't the best scenario, im sure you can get a CD writer on the local machine somehow and use tar.

vfslib
vfslib(3tcl) Tcl-only Virtual File Systems vfslib(3tcl)
NAME
::vfslib - Procedures to interact with virtual filesystems
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require vfs ?1.2.1?
package require vfs::zip ?1.0?
package require vfs::mk4 ?1.6?
package require vfs::tar ?0.9?
package require vfs::ftp ?1.0?
package require vfs::ns ?1.0?
package require vfs::webdav ?0.1?
package require vfs::http ?0.5?
package require vfs::urltype ?1.0?
vfs::zip::Mount path to
vfs::ftp::Mount path to
vfs::tar::Mount path to
vfs::http::Mount path to
vfs::mk4::Mount path to
vfs::ns::Mount path to
vfs::urltype::Mount type
DESCRIPTION
The ::vfs package includes a library of Tcl code, implementing a number of different virtual filesystems. Each of these exists as its own
package, and can be accessed through package require vfs::NAME. The whole set of virtual filesystems is known informally as 'vfslib'
SUPPORTED VFS TYPES
The current supported types are ftp, tar, http, zip, mk4, ns, webdav. In addition there is the ability to mount any 'urltype' as a new
volume, provided an appropriate vfs is supported. This means that you can treat 'ftp://', 'http://' and 'file://' urls as files. To do
this, simply evaluate the command
vfs::urltype::Mount ftp
for instance. Any access inside the new volume will result in an attempt to require a package through 'package require vfs::${type}',
which must therefore exist, or errors will be thrown.
LIMITATIONS
Most of the vfs types listed above have not been very well debugged as yet. Please test them!
