Just in case if some one needs similar script, here is one which works 
for me

tar zcvf - ./. |openssl des3 -salt -k password | ncftpput -u ftp.user -p 
ftp.password -c ftp.server.name backup.`date +%b.%d.%y`.des3 -

PS: I do have more complex tar, but this is a script which will create 
encrypted gziped file directly on remote ftp.
