[Zope] download a file in a specific folder in the filesystem

[Alan]

Thanks a lot guys, it's working fine.

 elif (func == 'Download'):
   fname = os.path.join(jobdir,'results.zip')
   file = open(fname,'rb').read()
   self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/zip')
   return file

Cheers,
Alan
