Can the user just drop a HTML document in a server directory and have this document published on the intranet? How can I determine the directory they can use?
Not exactly, but close enough. A DTML Document could certainly contain just HTML code and no DTML, and Zope would happily return it and the client would render it just as if (say) Apache had returned it. I presume you could use the ftp server built in to Zserver to upload the documents to whatever folders you had given them permission on. But keep in mind that all the Zope data is stored in the ZODB (a single file in the unix filesystem) not as seperate files in that filesystem, so any update transactions need to go through Zserver somehow or another in order to update the content. You might want to consider teaching them the (pretty easy) management interface, though, as they could use that to upload files directly from their PC desktops using just their web browser. Who knows, they might even decide they want to start taking advantage of Zope's content management features, and actually start learning DTML <grin>. --RDM
