The goal is to upload my whole website as a zip then unzip on the remote server.

Are there any freeware tools like FTP ZipDeploy that automate this process?

If you can use rsync that is a great option.. you should consider using the backup directory option too so that you keep historical versions but keep them outside the public html area.

If you can't use rsync then you could use scp which will compress transfers for you.

If you can't use rsync nor scp then you can use something like CuteFTP (windows) which will compress transfers for you.

Any reason not to use rsync? It will conserve bandwidth/transmission time by not resending files that haven't been updated.
