Ah, good. Thank you. You at least confirm my suspicions. But being 'non-(so)-technical' or at a much more basic level than those that can take stable syntax knowledge for granted, can someone offer me how to write into my LocalFS mount called AdminImgMnt. I can easily write a proper image in Zope, but directing through the mount evades me completely. I would not know where to begin on how to tell manage_addImage to go through LocalFS..... The following working line of code drops my image, but now i want it to be directed to AdminImgMnt which is the LFS mount.... User rights should be okay. I think Im only missing the syntaxing. <dtml-call expr="manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg', REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')"> My first assumptions were to be <dtml-call expr="AdminImgMnt.manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg', REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')"> or <dtml-with AdminImgMnt> <dtml-call expr="manage_addImage(_.str(pid) + '.jpg', REQUEST.form['imgfile'], '')"> </dtml-with> But both just deposit the file locall (in Zope) next to the LocalFS mount. Now Im just getting confused beyond rationale..... Thanks as always, Paz Jens Vagelpohl wrote:
This is incorrect. LocalFS also allows you to write files to the directory that you are "viewing" through the LocalFS object, provided the user your zope process runs under has the privilege to write into that directory.
i know this won't help non-technical people, but i have found the code for LocalFS to be very clean, well-written and self-explanatory and have done a few python utilities based on it without ever needing more documentation than the code itself.
jonothan has put up a page with an overview over LocalFS capabilities right here:

hope that helps

How do I store a file in LocalFS?
Don't. LocalFS is a VIEW of your file system. Simply move your file in the directory managed by LocalFS and you are done.
Cheers and excuse today's hangover moodiness,
You're not alone, don't give up :-)
