Hi Tom, 

I'm not quite sure I understand your problem, but Zope comes with a
builtin ftp server which usually listens on the "21" port instead of
"80". So if their Zope runs at port 8080, chances are that you can ftp
into the server on port 8021 and access all the objects in a normal
"file system" manner. you could also export the "root" folder of the
old Zope instance and re-import it into a *subfolder* of the new Zope
server and move stuff over from there.

Good luck, 

uwe
