Re: [Zope] Should I use ZODB or not ?

OK, sorry to be so dense about this, but when you say "through ZServer" ...please clarify for me on thing:

Does LocalFS actually go "through ZServer" ? I thought that all it does, is to make a virtual link, storing a pointer in the ZODB to the real physical file system. Upload thus via FTP would be as fast as could be, and download could be defined if you prefer FTP or HTTP. Does'nt the link in LocalFS work the same in both directions, merely storing the linkn in XODB adn pass the location to the protocol? It does.

When I stress that you should not go through ZServer, it means do not upload/serve via Zope. Use FTP or another protocol appropriate for mass data transfer over unstable connections. Dieter
