Perhaps the behavior of ZServer could be modified so that if an ftp upload would replace an DTML method, then the new object still will be a DTML method. Currently, Zope seems to have some magic that makes a guess that the upload it DTML text and then, there's a hidden default that DTML text will be saved as an DTML document. Now if Zope simply would default to keeping the type of the object, if it already exists, editing via ftp would be much easier, not ?

This is not Zope's fault, it's Emacs. Emacs automaticly deletes a file before it re-saves it, thus, ZServer saves the *new* file as a DTML Document. You would need to change the behavior of Emacs to fix this. -Michel
