As i want to manage anything with zope, I also want to use Zope as pure ftp- server. The idea is to let admins manage users/closed groups by the ZMI and a to give a simple public interface over the ftp-file-structure for the end user
My idea was to take LocalFs or ExtFile and store the Files externally on the File System. When I tried recently, LocalFS did not support FTP (LocalFS objects are not FTP listable). Would probably be possible to fix.
Now i see some Problems/Questions
1. Is there any Possibility to turn off ObjeAct-Acquisiton ? What do you mean by this?
Zope's standard FTP support refuses to provide FTP services for acquired objects (there's a patch from me that removes this restriction, but you do not need it to apply).
2. How can i do Logging / Quotas Logging should not be too difficult.
Zope already logs some FTP activity. If it is not enough, you add what you need. Quotas is a bit more difficult, as there is no provision to manage the amount of data below a point. Someone did Quata checking, however. Search the mailing list arvhices.
3. Stability of ftp-server in Zope FTP is not easy across a firewall, but you probably know that.
Search the mailing list archives for more information. Recently, I did no longer see major problem reports (beside firewall issues). Dieter
