What file formats are acceptable to upload to VPHOT?

I know that FITS files and ZIP files containing FITS files work, but are there other acceptable types?

In particular, I understand that there is a compressed FITS file that is available. (I don't have the software that supports this, but the observatory from which I get data does.)

Thanks.
