Why not FTP?

Make sure your FTP server for Zope is turned on in the etc/zope.conf file and than just FTP into the website and put the files and folders up there.

Plone will try to create them as the right type but many not get them all correctly.

There used to be a few tools for migrating html files into Plone in the Zope installation, don't know how many are still in there.

So if i have my site on my local drive I put my bulk files into:

C:\Program Files\Plone 2\Data\etc

Then how do I access those files?

No, you have to ftp them into Plone.

ftp://localhost:8021

Okay so this whole FTP/Webdav thing is really difficult to figure out. i've read through all the Plone and Zope documentation and I still am lost. Here's what I have done:

[quote]My Plone Controller says:
Plone HTTP: 80
Zope Management HTTP: 8080
FTP Access: 21
WebDAV Source: 8280[/quote]

I edited (in notepad) the zope.conf file to say:

[quote] # <ftp-server>
# # valid key is "address"
# address localhost:21
# </ftp-server>

# <webdav-source-server>
# # valid keys are "address" and "force-connection-close"
# address localhost:8280
# force-connection-close off
# </webdav-source-server>[/quote]

I stop and started plone, flushed every cache I could think of and I still can't access anything through FTP (leechFTP) or webdav.

Leech is in PSV mode. and I am inputing "localhost" as my host, 21 as my port and my username and password. I get a "socket error: no connection" and "All login attempts failed."

When I try to access through webdav I input ftp://localhost:8280 i get this:

Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you gtyped the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: A connection witht he server could not be established.

SOme one please help I have no clue where I am going wrong???
