1. User has a folder on his Linux/Windows file system with one or more content types (images, OO docs,Word docs, etc.)

3. The webDav server automatically determines the content type and creates it in the selected target folder using the appropriate factory when it receives the file, and uses the "file" factory if it can't automatically determine the file type...
Use Webdrive (http://www.webdrive.com/) to connect your Zope to the Desktop of the users via Webdav and you'll be happy...
There are two problems with this : 1) it only works on Windows; and more importantly 2) when you drop a file into webdav how can you control the content type created from that object e.g if we drop a HTML file into webdav it will normally be of type File, whereas Document may be more interesting, or for an image we may want Image or a custom type defined. This is really the problem to be solved : is it possible to control the type of content created when an object is added to Zope using either FTP or WebDAV ? Preferably we would like to be able for this type to be created automatically i.e. when 20 files of mixed types are ftp'd/webdav'd then the appropriate content types should be used for each file. I imagine that there much be an automatic way (or a product for this) but it is not obvious to me. Thanks CPH
