[Zope] Zope FTP/WebDav questions

Hi all,

Couple of questions...

1. Trying to access Zope's source WebDav port using Web Folders in 
Windows 2000 results in a windows 2000 error box coming up entitled 
"RUNDLL : An exception occurred while trying to run 
"C:\WINNT\System32\netplwiz.dll,AddNetPlaceRunDll". I've tried this from 
various computers within our office and get the same error each time. 
I'm running Zope 2-6-0, and have enabled the webdav port when starting 
Zope. Any ideas ?

2. Suppose I have a folder hierarchy set up as follows..

 /
 |
 |
 +-- /folder1 for hostmonster 'a'
 |
 +-- /folder2 for hostmonster 'b'


'/' contains a standard aclFolder, and 'folder1' contains another acl 
folder (in my case, a mysqlUserFolder).

If I FTP into my Zope server, I assume the FTP username and password I 
used are auth'd against the aclFolder in '/'. However, I have a user who 
needs to FTP into 'folder1' to change content for his virtual host - his 
username and password are stored in the mySQLUserFolder within folder1.

How do I tell the FTP server to authenticate against my nested 
userFolder ?

Thanks,

P

A quick reading of the patent and its claims, 6,505,212, shows that 
there
is a substantial amoount of uncited prior art dating before the priority
date (Feb 1998).  The ignored literature includes SCCS, RCS, CVS, and a
myrid of other products.  A careful analysis of the patent in the light 
of
the prior art would be needed to determine whether it was anticipated in
the art and therefore, potentially invalid.  Invalidating the patent 
would
take litigation and deep pockets.
