[Zope] ZClasses and FTP/WebDAV

Can anyone bring me up to speed on why my ZClasses cannot be manipulated
via FTP/WebDAV, and what I need to do to make them so they can?

I was pleased to note that built in Zope objects perform admirably
during FTP/WebDAV manipulation : I'd feared that changed files would
revert to 'File' objects. (Irrational, I know). However, my lovely
ZClass, that I've put so much time and energy into, does not work.

In FTP - I just get an error when I try to replace it. (Downloading is
fine)
In WebDAV - it sees my ZClass as a Folder. Downloads it as a Folder.
Wierd.

I'll be happy as can be to get one of theses methods working. This is
imperative as we use Dreamweaver as our site manager/editor.

Now, I've found this: http://www.zope.org/Members/akendall/zclassftp
Seems relevant, but old as can be. I'm going to compare the files it
alters with the ones that come with Zope 2.6, and hopefully I can
distill some wisdom as to what needs changing. But if anyone can shed
some light to help guide my way, I'd appreciate it.
