ftp your zope server on port 21 and 'put' them.  If these are plain
old files (*.doc, *.pdf, *.jpg, etc...) the default put method will
work fine for you.  If you want these files to be a special type, like
ZWiki pages, you'll need to write your own PUT_factory and make it an
External Method.  Here is an example:

def PUT_factory( self, name, typ, body ):
       """
          Override the default PUT method to make ZWikiPage the
          default type for ftp uploads
       """
       from Products.ZWiki.ZWikiPage import ZWikiPage
       if typ == 'text/plain':
              ob = ZWikiPage( '', __name__=name )
              ob.page_type = 'structuredtextdtml'
              return ob
        elif ... other types...
              
        else:
               return None
