I am assumming that all data on a Zope hosted website resides in Data.fs even if you are running a Plone site.
If so, how do you update something like Plone news items from the command line?
You can use a ZEO debug session to connect a Python console to a live Zope server. I do this all the time, and it's great.
You could presumably also go about this with FTP.
or webdav. I haven't tried either with plone lately.
I don't know anything about webdav. Is there a definitive reference for it? As for use FTP, how would I use that? I presumed that Zope stored data in its own database, so wouldn't I need to import the uploaded files into that database?
You can also make your own tools to interact with Zope via XML-RPC or in a RESTful manner (wget can be a REST tool).
Yes, this is covered in the Advanced Scripting chapter of the zope book, way down at the bottom:
http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ScriptingZope.stx
Look for the "Remote Scripting and Network Services" section.
Where would I find the format of something like a News item?
