I think, that's not the problem. You can have FTP-access by mail with the
bitftp-service.
Mail help to bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu 
The problem lies in the fact that the archiver !extract needs CLIB366 to run.
Not all Acorns now traded owns CLIB366 .....
CLIB366 is not PD and the licence to it say:

A archive isn't a standalone Computer and a archive of files without the 
archiver for it, makes no sense .....

2. Has anyone build a PD-tool like !toedit, which uses the alias$@runtype_fff 
   for the doubleclick of right mousekey ?
   I don't want to use !edit (various arguments for this) ....

so long
