When will you release the product? Also, what about the opposite effect: - An external method that **reads** existing HTML files from the file system? The possible application? Let�s say I host my website with a hosting service that does not support Zope directly. Yet, if I am able to install Zope on my personal disk space, I could get Zope running (on port :81, say) and then Zope would read and write the HTML files to the filesystem. The point: using Zope to *maintain* my site, through a web interface that is a lot friendlier than FTPing HTMl files up to the web hosting service. Just an idea.

We're running zope 1.10.2 under apache.
Briefly, my question is - What's the easiest way to convince apache/zope to allow an external method to actually write some files somewhere - do I only need to ask my friendly (!) sysadmin to adjust some apache permissions or is there more to this ?
Details - In order to get a static html representation of a zope folder and subfolder objects, I thought I'd write myself an external method which walks the folder structure and tries to write the dtml stuff to the file system as a static mirror of the dynamic zope site.
Problem. Everything seems to work fine except that all of the file writes fail - IOError 13 - permission denied.
I thought I'd be sneaky and tried using the zope/var directory assuming that apache was stopping zope from writing to any arbitrary directory. No joy - zope too smart to allow me to do that.
I'll release it as a contributed product if I can get this sorted out. (Yes, wget already does this but we've had some interesting problems...)
