How is it not user-friendly?  (I'm really curious).  Python has some 
very nice ways with dealing with zip files.  Here is some pages from a 
google search on python and zip:

This is telling a web browser to let javascript read and write to a 
local directory.  I think there are serious security concerns with a web 
browser being able to do that.  There are no ways right now of telling 
the notebook to use a local directory, if the server is remote.
