serving up a file without making a zope object out of it
I have an excel file on my pc that gets updated every five minutes. I would like to make a link to it from within zope. Currently, I can add a file which can be served up from zope, but it becomes a static object after it is uploaded, and so it is not the copy which updates every five minutes. I can do this simply in apache by putting the file in the htdocs file and creating a simple link to it. How is this possible in Zope? -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife

I think ExternalFile is for you: http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile One might also point a LocalFS instance at it's directory, perhaps? --jcc

Try LocalFS: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25161&release_id=10656... or AdaptableStorage: http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/AdaptableStorage cheers, Chris
