[Zope-dev] ftp-acces to Zope: "rename" command

Hi,
I have the following problem:
One great thing in Zope is the ftp acces to objects. And in combination
with the ftp-abilities of kfm and kwrite in kde1.2 it worked very nice for me
to edit DTML-Documents in kwrite.

But now in kde2 the the i/o System of kde (kio) has changed and when I
edit an DTML-Document with kwrite in kde2 and want to save, kwrite (in fact
kio) first creates a new file named file_name.part and then renames it to
file_name.

No the problem is that the ftp part of ZServer doesn't support to rename
an object. When I type "rename file file_old" in the linux terminal-ftp
client, he says: "500 'RNFR': command not understood."

So I'm asking if anybody knows how to solve this problem, or if there is
anybody who can tell me where in the source of Zope I have to look to
implement the "rename" command in ZServer. On the IRC Zope-cannel they told
 me that this wouldn't be too difficult. But maybe it is already implemented
 an I only have to activate it...

Bye,
Klaus
