Hi! Thanks for your replies. But for what I want LocalFS or ExtFile sounds too much, specially because I just need to download. Either, I did not realise yet well what Richard purposed... However, I tried that: with a external method fname = os.path.join(jobdir,'results.zip') file = open(fname,'rb').read() return file but instead of having the file downloaded, it is printed in my browser, as if it was a ascii file. I guess I need to add a mime type property here, but I am running out of ideas. Any commentary would be very welcome. Cheers, Alan On 24/08/06, Richard Phelps <richard.phelps@ed.ac.uk> wrote:

If you just want the file to be downloadable from say a web page served by zope you could make an object on your zope system (say a page template) that renders a page with a link to the file you wish to make available. The file would have to accessible to your web server.

Dears,

I would to know how to download a file generated by a program outside zope. I mean, I would like to download a file via zope webserver and such a file is located outside the zope space. Since zope treats everything as a object I have know idea of how "importing" the link to a file inside zope space.

I would thank in advance any help.

Cheers, Alan
