To be really cool, Zope should support NFS functionality for UNIX and SMB functionality for Windoze. That would rock. Are there any plans to do that?

This is an exceedingly ambitious project. Patches accepted. :^)
Paul, What if we provided a way for Zope to export a virtual filesystem containing the same things you may now access via the FTP protocol? Then, you could use the services of a kernel to export that filesystem via NFS or SMB, or via the native FTP server. I think there have been filesystem-in-a-process implementations for Linux, as well as drivers that presented the contents of a remote FTP server as a filesystem. I don't know if any of these exist any longer (I didn't see them in a cursory look over the 2.2.10 kernel). Thanks Bruce

Yep, then we would almost have Oracle 8i :)

I'll do a check of my (huge) bookmark list, but I think I saw an user level filesystem implementation that did the main bulk of things in perl with just a small C module for interfacing. --------- Hannu
