This assumes that EG (which I assume is a LocalFS object, right?) has a
"manage_addFile" method. If it doesn't it will get acquired from the
context (probably the folder above in your case) and the file gets
created there.

Does LocalFS support adding files from the Zope side? Perhaps it has its
own API different from manage_addFile?

If it doesn't, you could just write a simple external method which
created the file in the proper place directly. Something like:

import os.path

def writeFile(filename, data):
    open(os.path.join('/path/to/localfs/dir', filename),
'wb').write(data)

Obviously you'd want to make sure you secure the external method so it
is not directly callable through the web by everyone.

Dunno, I've not used it yet.
