The idea is that endusers can drag'n'drop files under MS-Windows, and immediately have those files -- password protected via Zope -- available on the web. This is for a design house that needs to make videos, web pages, etc. available to clients for review with HTTP.
You could also try IE's drag-n-drop ftp support.
I see my two options as:
1. Mount the Zope server as a WebDAV drive under MS-WindowsXP, then just drag'n'drop there
2. Use LocalFS to give Zope access to some directory, and then share that directory with Samba
Any comments on the advantages/disadvantages of each? I'm leaning towards the Samba solution, because Win98 and MacOS 9.x don't support WebDAV natively.
Does MacOS 9.x have native support for SMB ?
Also, with LocalFS I have the "type_map" property, which is really useful. I am *still* shocked and amazed that there is no such property for standard Zope folders--what good is WebDAV access without it?
Once you get over the shock you could try to implement it ;) ------------- Hannu
