Not directly from DTML.  You need to use a method on the Image object. 
manage_FTPget().

This is different from the first question that you asked.  In this case,
when your form uploads the file contents, ZPublisher will marshal that
into a StringIO object (which acts just like a python file object).  In
this case you can just do:

<dtml-var "REQUEST['name_of_form_element_that_is_the_file'].read()">

and get the 'contents' of the file.

In this case, your taking about a Zope 'Image' object, _not_ a standard
file object like you get when you upload data.  For this you need
manage_FTPget().
