using ComponentPro.Net;
using ComponentPro.Compression;

...

// Connect to an SFTP file system.
Sftp sftp = new Sftp();
sftp.Connect("demo.componentpro.com", 22);
sftp.Authenticate("test", "test");

// Create a new zip file.
Zip zip = new Zip();
zip.Create("test.zip");
// Add all remote files to the newly created archive. 
// This operation directly adds files to the ZIP file, no temporary files created. 
// Use this
zip.AddFiles(sftp, "", false, null, "", new TransferOptions()); 
// or this 
// sftp.DownloadFiles("", false, null, zip, "", new TransferOptions()); 
 
// Close all used resources.
zip.Close();
sftp.Disconnect();
