[Zope] saving files to zope

[josh on]

Oh goodness, I fear that this isn't going to be anywhere near as easy as I
might have hoped!

Thanks for the good questions.

It is a macromedia director shockwave file, that exports a picture file to
my server Zope, zserver on win98.  The shockwave will be embedded in a
webpage served on a page served by zope in fact it is already there:

http://194.80.197.15:8080/sqladdaline/shockwave/index_dtml

Hit the enter button and it saves a file!  yeah right, hehe...

I have it so that it is supposed to save a file "test.jpeg"  hoping that it
would just save into that directory.

no luck... I am not sure whether the problem lies on the zope or Director
side of things.  The director file works locally but I have never had it
work as a shockwave file.

As for which of these protocols it would use, I am undure, the first I would
guess. however it would have to happen behind the scenes, and I would then
want to be able to refer to these files from zope.

ok this sounds good too, perhaps this is what it is doing already?

Thanks for your time,
