When I remember right, your files are in the file system and
not inside Zope? Right?

  Then, there is no easy way to access then as a browser does.

  You can use "LocalFS" (installation will be a bit problematic, but
  a recent message on a Zope mailing list has a solution),
  "ExtFile" or "ExternalFile".
  All these products allow (in different ways) to access
  files from inside Zope.

  You can also use an External Method to read and serve
  your files in the file system. Search the mailing list
  archives for "open", to get examples.
