A colleague of mine wrote up an object that sucks files of the local
filesystem, replaces the start of the doc with  <dtml-var
standard_html_header> and the bottom with footer, and nicks whatever is
within <TITLE></TITLE> to make the Title property of the DTML-doc..
Works rather neatly, but is still in development..
I'll talk to him about making it a product if it is stable and someone
are interested..   Doesn't help you with ftp, though ..
