Try something like this, upload_html: <FORM ACTION="upload_external" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> <TABLE CELLSPACING="2"> <TR> <TH ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP">File</TH> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="25" VALUE=""> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD><BR><INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Change"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </FORM> external method called upload_external: import os, shutil def upload_external(self,file,REQUEST): #check if file was sent correctly if file.read(1) == '': return '<h2>File does not exist</h2>' else: file.seek(0) iname=os.path.basename(file.filename) oname=os.path.join(self.savedir,iname) f=open(oname,"wb") f.write(file.read()) # let's get the mime information mime_type=file.headers.headers[1] user=str(REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER) try: self.add_entry(path=self.savedir,filename=iname,owner=user) except: os.remove(oname) return '<h2>File upload not completed correctly</h2>' return '''<h2>%s was sent correctly, and saved in %s</h2><h3>The Mime Type of the file is</h3>%s<h3>Saved by</h3>%s''' % (iname,oname,mime_type,user) The self.savedir is a property set in the folder which contains the external method and tells the external method where to put the file. The self.add_entry is an update on a database to keep track of the files uploaded, etc. The rest should be self explanatory, ;) HTH Phil phil@philh.org ----- Original Message ----- From: <michael@garage.co.jp> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, July 08, 1999 6:23 AM Subject: [Zope] file upload question

Hi all

I would like to write a dtml script that will upload files to a specific directory, not to Zope (or as an Zope object). Can anyone please give me some pointers.

Help appreciate.

Thanks.

Michael
