Oh goodness, I fear that this isn't going to be anywhere near as easy as I might have hoped! Thanks for the good questions.
Its not quite clear to me what you want to do... Which application/OS do you want to save it with? what _exactly_ do you want?
It is a macromedia director shockwave file, that exports a picture file to my server Zope, zserver on win98. The shockwave will be embedded in a webpage served on a page served by zope in fact it is already there: http://194.80.197.15:8080/sqladdaline/shockwave/index_dtml Hit the enter button and it saves a file! yeah right, hehe... I have it so that it is supposed to save a file "test.jpeg" hoping that it would just save into that directory. no luck... I am not sure whether the problem lies on the zope or Director side of things. The director file works locally but I have never had it work as a shockwave file. As for which of these protocols it would use, I am undure, the first I would guess. however it would have to happen behind the scenes, and I would then want to be able to refer to these files from zope.
- http multipart file upload? -> make yourself a file upload form (see zope doc on how to do this)
- ftp ? direct your ftp-client to port 8021 of you zope machine
- http/webdav -> direct your webdav-client to port 8080 of your machine (if you're using zserver, port 80 if apache)
ok this sounds good too, perhaps this is what it is doing already?
- filesystem (samba) ? -> install product LocalFS and scan its documentation. it lets you use files in the server's filesystem from zope.
Thanks for your time, josh on
