[Zope] External editor for ZMI

[Nikko Wolf]

I prefer:
   emacs with ExternalEditor - to edit ZODB objects,
   emacs with TRAMP - to edit native filesystem files via SSH, see:
     http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/tramp/

emacs via FTP (with AngeFTP or with TRAMP) is also good for both of 
these when configured.  But be aware that content and authorization 
strings are unencrypted over the wire for FTP, or HTTP (ExternalEditor 
and ZMI).

If it's behind Apache HTTPS, ZMI or ExternalEditor should be secure.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What about Zope FTP -- can it be secured?

Ciao,
Nikko
