Re: [Zope] Integrating Zope with the file system

Hi all,

I want to integrate my Zope/Plone portal with files on the Lan. Does a product exist that:

1) Allows viewing/editing of (e.g.) Windows files w/out requiring that they be made Zope objects?

2) Does not have security holes since the files would be available via the Internet.

You want to allow writing in your file system via the internet. This is at least a bit troublesome.

3) Provides text search capability, again, w/out requiring that they become Zope objects?

Have a look at "LocalFS". It supports 1) and 3). I do not know about security holes but that does not imply there are none! Dieter
