Have installed (I think) LocalFS but don't understand how to expose a

directory such as /tmp/foo within the zope URL hierarchy. I expected to see a new file type "LocalFS portal" or something in the "Add" pulldown menu.

I read a message from ~a year ago by Johnathan, the LocalFS author, saying it wasn't being kept up to date.

Please advise or point me to docs - the sourceforge and zope.org pages have no examples, and I'm not sure it's working properly.

I don't know what the "LocalFS portal" business is about. Maybe it's some derivative of LocalFS? My installation of LocalFS puts a "Local File System" product in the add list, and when I try to add one asks simply for name, title, and base path. Works exactly as expected. I might, for instance, say id: monkeybutter title: The directory containing monkeys and butter. Fun! base path: /tmp/foo and magically I could retrieve the file '/tmp/foo/monkey' as 'http://localhost:8080/monkeybutter/monkey' --jcc
