E.g. Package / Compress the file before uploading, and then unzip the files on server.
Nope. There is a ticket for this .. but it's in backlog and it's pretty unlikely that it will be implemented: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-4582 You will have to do such zip, upload and unzip on target machine yourself.
There were some recent speed ups done (like multiple upload threads/connections: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-5580), but I have no idea how much difference they will make (I'm doing limited uploading and wait 1..1.5 mins to upload 50 files over FTP is OK here)

If you have a lot of files to deploy: better use a more suitable tool for that, e.g. Rsync or alike (Rsync ticket: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-473).
