[Zope] export product outside zope

Is it possible to use the Zope API to export a folder outside of zope, eg, either by using some combination of ZODB.ExportImport or OFS.ObjectManager? If not, can this be done with the XML-RPC patch that incorporates authorization headers? I want to set up a cron process that exports a folder to the local filesystem? Perhaps this can also better done within zope? Thanks, John hunter
