Its an html file which should be converted into a Plone document.  Ths 
syntax is very simple:

<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 am trying to ftp to Plone</p>
  </body>
</html>

The idea is to keep the effective dates and expiration dates of my old Zope 
objects when ftping them to Plone.  It turns out that this problem only 
occurs with Document types and not with News types.

Jaroslav Lukeš (thanks for your answer) suggested using WebDav to upload, 
but I am having problems using webdav with Plone2 (all this is done locally 
on my W2K box for the moment).  If any Plonistas can help by explaning how 
to set up the webdav stuff I would be very grateful.

Have a good day
