Uploading files into Zope using FTP.

Uploading files into Zope folders is exactly the same as uploading files to a file system. If you know how to use FTP this is a simple task. Use ftp from the command line, or use your favorite ftp client tool.

If you are new to FTP and running Windows, you can easily use Internet Explorer browser to upload files by dragging and dropping the files from one location to the FTP folder location. Here how to do this:

Open Windows Internet Explorer. In the Address bar, enter the following string:

ftp://username:password@host:port/starting_folder/

where
    username is your zope username
    password is your zope password
    host is the full name of the server you are connecting to
    port is the port number of your Zope ftp server
    starting_folder is the  folder where your Zope site starts within

An example would be:

ftp://bob:bob_password@stormy.eng.utah.edu:8021/coe/

Once you are connected within Zope you will see a list of folders in your browser. You are now ready to copy  files from your local computer to the Zope folders. There are many ways to copy files within windows. Two common ways are:

1. Open explorer to view your filesystem. Put both windows next to each other and drag and drop the files you want to upload into Zope, into whatever folder you want.

2. Select the files you want to copy in windows explorer and copy them (right click--copy, or Edit-->copy). Right click in the Zope destination folder you want to copy to, and select Paste.
