I'm using the ExternalFile product:

http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile

because I need to have a file both in ZMI, as well as in filesystem.

I would like to ask if anyone can tell me how to get back the file that ExternalFile was created from, having only the object? In fact I do not need the file itself, but tha data (bytes) that were inside.

Do you mean, the file in the filesystem does not exist anymore? An ExternalFile is like a "pointer" to a file, it does not store the actual file content, so if the original file is not there you can't get anything. Or, if you are asking about how to retrieve the (existing) file contents, look in the sources for the getContents() method.
