I would say that the easiest way is to PKZIP the files.
If you are just shipping the .EXE you only need to ZIP:
VBRUN300.DLL
YOURNAME.EXE
and any .VBX's that you used.
If you want to ship the source code the .ZIP all the .FRM's .BAS and the .MAK
Then FTP the .ZIP as BINARY.
You can even use ZIP2EXE to ship a self extracting .ZIP
