If you have a lot of images, a plugin may be rather inefficient. An easier, MUCH faster method, is to simply use "tar" from the command line.
To pack it:
tar -cpf tarfilename.tar ./folder-to-tar
To unpack it:
tar -xpf tarfilename.tar
Note, the above will create a single file archive of all files and folders in the specified folder, recursively. Additionally, it will preserve file and folder permissions. This is especially helpful when doing it from root and sftp'ing from one server to another.
