Upload file with framework Zope
Question: I would like that users of my ZOPE/Plone website can upload (big) file (>1Gb)
on a server.

I have a form in html :

    
    
    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.py" method="post">
    <p>File: <input type="file" name="file"></p>
    <p><input type="submit" value="Upload"></p>
    </form>
    

I have an external script with ZOPE : upload.py

    
    
    def get(self, REQUEST):
        filename = REQUEST.file['file']
    

Unfortunately I don't know what to do with this file..

I found some tutorial but I think I'm on wrong way (because these methods
can't work with ZOPE ?):

**CGI** : <http://webpython.codepoint.net/cgi_file_upload>

**ftplib** : [Python Script Uploading files via
FTP](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12613797/python-script-uploading-
files-via-ftp)

Thanks for your advices,


Answer: It depends on how and where you want to store it.

The REQUEST.file is a file object where you can read, seek, tell etc the
contents from.

You can store it like a blob:

    
    
    from ZODB.blob import Blob
    blob = Blob()
    bfile = blob.open('w')
    bfile.write(REQUEST.file)
    bfile.close()
    # save the blob somewhere now
    context.myfile = blob
