[Zope] Project FTP Site

[Robert Rottermann]

I would not bet on that witout MUCH testing.
I have been developing huge AutoCAD aplications for 15 years.
And DXF (as the text transfer format is called) has become problematic.

What I am doing now is creating an dbengine that stores files outside of
zope and keeps trak of revisions.

But the product is far from redy.
