Mostly, you don't. But you can set up a PUT_factory method. Search the archives or zope.org for PUT_factory or hookable_PUT. I'm attaching my below which defaults to DTML Methods unless it sees '<params>', in which case it creates a ZSQL Method with my defaults. You'll still need to search the archives to know how to install it. # Implement the "hookable PUT" hook. import re, OFS.DTMLMethod import Products.ZSQLMethods.SQL import sys TEXT_PATTERN = re.compile( r'^text/.*$' ) ZSQL_PATTERN = re.compile( r'<params>([^<]+)</params>(.*)', re.DOTALL ) # New behaviors: # Support for ftp put of ZSQL methods (sorta). Connection ID is hardcoded. # Default doctype is DTMLMethod, not DTMLDocument. def PUT_factory( self, name, typ, body ): """ """ if TEXT_PATTERN.match( typ ): grps = ZSQL_PATTERN.match(body) if grps: return Products.ZSQLMethods.SQL.SQL(name, '', 'Oracle_database_connection', grps.group(1), grps.group(2)) else: return OFS.DTMLMethod.DTMLMethod( '', __name__=name ) return None

How does one get the metatypes set properly for objects imported using FTP? How do I inform Zope that a file is a SQL-method, dtml-method, dtml-document, or whatever? A quick google of the archives did not turn up anything...
