I'm a newbie in Zope. So far I have installed and tried Zope, followed the tutorial and done a very simple application.

The problem is I have to make an intranet for my company, as fast as possible and as easy to use for the people in my company as possible. I want people to be able to add new material to the intranet, but without having to upload it in Zope (could be too complicated for them). The easiest way would be to let them copy the material to a folder in the server's hard disk. Is there any Zope product or add-in that lets me see the files of a folder in the hard disk, so I can dynamically arrange a menu depending on the files of a folder in the hard disk?

Also, I would like to restrict the access to these files on the hard disk depending on the access rights defined for the files in the local hard disk. Is it possible to do this, I mean reading the access rights of a file in the hard disk? The operating system is Windows 2000 Server.

And finally, I would like the users not to have to log in (enter user name and password) again in Zope, as they have already logged in the domain when switching on the computer. Is it possible to obtain what user name the user has logged in the domain with? Again, the operating system is Windows 2000 Server.
