Ok, first of all, what ftp program are you using? I guess depending on what you are using, you may have to switch between transfer modes, so it could have trouble uploading zip files. That sounds unlikely, unless you were using your web host's file manager, but either way, get Filezilla or SmartFTP (IMO Smart looks better, but Filezilla is user friendlier.) Both of these switch modes automatically depending on the file type.

Now, connect to your site via ftp, navigate to your arcade folder, ex. /forums/arcade/. .zip files are v3Arcade games, and should be placed in the zip folder. .tar files are IBPA games, and should be placed in the tar folder. Goto add games in the arcade menu of your control panel and scroll down to the tar and zip sections. Click install by the game to install it.

I just wanted to get that out for anyone else who needs help, even though PE probably doesn't need it anymore.

As far as converting zip to tar, I don't know. I thought not a first, but I could be wrong, though it may require changing the v3 info file into a IBPA one. I will try when my site is back up, but I am guessing the answer will be no, without actually editing the swf directly.

Edit: Nope, it doesn't work.
