Need help in Zipping files to local machine

Question

Okay here it goes, I want to Zip up files from several IP's, to my local machine. This for a development tool that I am creating, this tools so far can upload files from My local machine to 20 IP's, now this functionality is new and is the other way around and I want to know a way of zipping up files and saving on my machine. Any documents, articles, resources and code snippets to show how to go about it can be helpful. I am still using .Net 2.0 and No third part lib...

Thanks, HRG

.NET has a built-in feature to zip files. You should use that. — Security Hound, Jun 19 '12 at 13:45

Please look here : http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sharpziplib/

Or if you can use .NET 4.5 RC you have Zip functionality included.
