[Zope] Help for building an intranet

[Farrell, Troy]

You can try NTUserFolder
http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/NTUserFolder
for your authentication.
Look at LocalFS for the files:

You can also enable FTP on the zope server.  Run
python z2.py -h
to get a list of options.  Edit start.bat with the options you want, and
away you go.

Subject: [Zope] Help for building an intranet


  Hi everyone!

  I'm a newbie in Zope. So far I have installed and tried Zope, followed the
tutorial and done a very simple application.

  The problem is I have to make an intranet for my company, as fast as
possible and as easy to use for the people in my company as possible. I want
people to be able to add new material to the intranet, but without having to
upload it in Zope (could be too complicated for them). The easiest way would
be to let them copy the material to a folder in the server's hard disk. Is
there any Zope product or add-in that lets me see the files of a folder in
the hard disk, so I can dynamically arrange a menu depending on the files of
a folder in the hard disk?

  Also, I would like to restrict the access to these files on the hard disk
depending on the access rights defined for the files in the local hard disk.
Is it possible to do this, I mean reading the access rights of a file in the
hard disk? The operating system is Windows 2000 Server.

  And finally, I would like the users not to have to log in (enter user name
and password) again in Zope, as they have already logged in the domain when
switching on the computer. Is it possible to obtain what user name the user
has logged in the domain with? Again, the operating system is Windows 2000
Server.

  Thanks in advance,

                                                Igor Leturia
