I probably haven't been very clear in my explanations: the document I want 
to upload is called 'content.html', I want to upload it to my Plone site so 
that it becomes a plone 'Document'.  Initially it was an EasyPublisher 
'EasyDocument' that had publication and archive date properties 
(effective_date and expiration_date respectively).  In order to get Plone 
to recognise these properties, you have to add meta tags of type <meta 
name="effective_date" content=""> format, so that when you upload your 
object, it becomes a Plone document with these properties properly filled in.

The syntax of the html file I want to upload is:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Document</title>
<meta name="Subject" content="" />
<meta name="Publisher" content="No publisher" />
<meta name="Description" content="" />
<meta name="Contributors" content="" />
<meta name="Effective_date" content="2004-01-12 00:00:00" />
<meta name="Expiration_date" content="2005-12-12 00:00:00" />
<meta name="Type" content="Document" />
<meta name="Format" content="text/html" />
<meta name="Language" content="en" />
<meta name="Rights" content="" />
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the test document I want to upload by ftp to Plone</p>
  </body>
</html>
