You can use gzip:
Code:
gzip -9vf filename



Then ftp the file in binary mode and then unzip file:
Code:
gzip -dv filename

Please define large in real units. There will be special considerations for anything larger than 2 Gigabytes (both before and after compression).

Please mention what version of HP-UX you have and what Operating System and version you mean by "Linux".
