It tries to translate FTP commands into method calls on Zope objects.

The FTP server provides access to Zope objects only. It doesn't provide
any special access to the filesystem.

Right now the source is about all there is in terms of documentation.
There are comments in ZServer/FTPServer.py that explain some details
about security, etc.
In general the FTP server allows you to edit Zope documents as though
they were text files on a FTP server. Many folks find this easier than
typing in textareas on web pages.
