Hi Ed, I ran into this issue awhile back too. See this howto: http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/dwhowto The second gotcha is what you're looking for. Basically what you need to do is override the ftp put_factory to create zpt's instead of dtml documents. HTH, Andy On Tue, 2004-02-17 at 16:29, Ed Leafe wrote:

OK, I've got a whole bunch of HTML files (900+) I need to import into a site. The site uses page templates, and I've massaged the files to replace their existing headers with METAL-compliant headers, with all the fill-slots properly created. Now all I need to do is FTP them to the Zope server - piece of cake, right? Except that all the HTML files get created as DTML Documents!

How can I configure things so that HTML files get created as Page Templates instead of DTML documents? Failing that, can I convert these in the ZODB to the desired type?

You want to learn about "PUT_Factory". There is a HowTo on Zope.org. -- Dieter
