Ahh, security.  I have to enforce security in over 600 locations.=20
That's a lot of people that think of me as the "technology taxman".  Oh
well, never thought I would win any popularity contests!

Another solution that I did not see mentioned earlier.  Has a
dependency:

1) Use apache, with mod_dav reverse-proxied to the DAV port of Zope
2) SSL-enable apache
3) use cadaver as "ftp-like" client, with SSL enabled

This (to me at least) looks the cleanest, as each technology is being
used as intended -;^>=3D  I'm doing it on my machine at home just to see
what it takes to get going, and it really was not that bad...
