How does Zope`s FTP-server work?
It tries to translate FTP commands into method calls on Zope objects.
I found myself inside a database when I logged in, or at least that what it looked like. Is there anyway to make or access ordinary folders, like an ordinary ftp-account, using this part of Zope?
The FTP server provides access to Zope objects only. It doesn't provide any special access to the filesystem.
Can anybody point me to a document etc. that explains what happens, preferrably not the source itself.
Right now the source is about all there is in terms of documentation. There are comments in ZServer/FTPServer.py that explain some details about security, etc. In general the FTP server allows you to edit Zope documents as though they were text files on a FTP server. Many folks find this easier than typing in textareas on web pages. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
