The simple reason is that the Touch does not run an ftpd or httpd (ftp
server or web server). The web server that normally runs with LMS
running on a PC or NAS is disabled on the Touch (via command-line option
when it starts LMS) because the Touch's computing resources are too
meager to run the web server without potentially compromising playback
performance. If it's any help to you, it does run a Samba server (smbd)
and I believe it also runs an SCP server.

On your latter questions, the Touch's Linux isn't a standard distro, so
I don't think you'll find deb or RPM packages that will work. As for
where to install things, I don't know offhand, but can advise that the
Touch uses a union filesystem, so that firmware updates will clobber
some parts of the filesystem but not touch other parts. 

Search the forums and you will find examples of people who have been
able to install various Linux utilities on the Touch, such as NTP and
busybox. That should point you in the right direction for anything you
want to try installing.
