I'm assuming this isn't *all* the product does and that you have
determined you actually want a product...

OK.  Here goes.


The form:
----------------------
<form method=post action=my_form_proc enctype="multipart/form-data">
ID: <input type=text name=IDValue><BR>
Title: <input type=text name=TitleValue><BR>
File: <input type=file name=FileData><BR>
<input type=submit>
</form>


Product Method: my_form_proc
---------------------------
def my_form_proc(self, IDValue, TitleValue, FileData, REQUEST=None):
   """ Allow user to add file """
   context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(IDValue)
   context[IDValue].manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(
          id=TitleValue, 
          title='',
          file=FileData)
   if REQUEST:
      return self.some_interface(self, REQUEST)

That's untested, but should get you most of the way there.

HTH,
