Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

I'm using:

 

FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #

 

From ZMI:

 

Zope Version     (Zope 2.8.3-final, python 2.4.2, freebsd4)

Python Version 2.4.2 (#2, Oct 23 2005, 22:58:40) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]]

System Platform            freebsd4

SOFTWARE_HOME      /usr/local/www/Zope28/lib/python

ZOPE_HOME    /usr/local/www/Zope28

-- snip - snip --

Network Services           ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8000)

ZServer.FTPServer.FTPServer (Port: 8021)

ZServer.HTTPServer.zwebdav_server (Port: 1980)

 

I'm running Zope behind Apache by using ProxyPass in VirtualHost within httpd.config:

 

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8000/VirtualHostBase/http/instance-URL.com:80/instance-user/VirtualHostRoot/

ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8000/VirtualHostBase/http/instance-URL.com:80/instance-user/VirtualHostRoot/

 

As you can see I'm running Zope at 8000. I've tried to setup the one plone "instance-user" to be able to ftp into their folder via 8021 using the user "instance-user" though receive errors like, "ftp: connect: Connection refused".

 

However, I can ftp into the instance-user folder using the ServerName using "instance-user" through port 21.

 

netstat -a shows ports 7786, 1980, 3306 in a LISTEN state, though not 8000 or 8021, nor 8080 for that matter.

 

The plone instance, instance-URL.com works great though I'm unable to use Zope's 8021 ftp server.

 

Two questions:

 

1. Does it matter whether I can use Zope's ftp server and instead use the ftpd? Will permissions be preserved?

2. Or should I try using WebDAV?

 

I'm familiarizing myself with Zope and Plone and like to SEE the folder/file structure via ftp.

 

Thanks,
