I am assumming that all data on a Zope hosted website resides in Data.fs even if you are running a Plone site.
If so, how do you update something like Plone news items from the command line?
As others have written you can connect to Zope in different ways. Zope takes care of marshalling and demarshalling the data. So if you get a news object from Zope by using FTP it will look like a normal HTML file to your editor, command line tool or other. You can then edit the ASCII file and save it back and Zope takes care of updating the database accordingly.
OK, so how does Zope's FTP recognise it is getting a news object and how does it know which Plone site it is meant for, since there could be multiple sites being hosted?
A news item will look like this:
Thanks, I will give this a try once I plug the gaps in my understanding of how it works. So far I have the format of a file stored locally, say newsitem.txt, once I ftp to:- myzopeftp.org 8021 how should the transaction proceed, assuming I have a Plone site called Plon1?
