compression & backup

I would like to have a feature on SmartFTP that you can right-click on a folder, and you can have a compressed backup of it on your HD.

This could be used for backing up an entire website, or just specific areas.

I am a long-time user of SmartFTP, and I love this program. Thanks you guys for all your hard work... it is very appreciated!

some ftp servers support on the fly packing to tar.

Yes they do. Mine does. Thank you so much for pointing that out. However, I think that it would be a nice addition to SmartFTP if they added that. I also think it would be a great subtraction if you stopped shooting everyones ideas down, like you do in all the other threads. But hey, thanks for pointing out the fact that you are so smart. Can someone make a suggestion, and you just say "Hmmm... that may be a useful feature"; or just dont say anything at all?

doing it in the ftp client would still mean download it to temporary folder and compress after the download is finished.
