Local File System - Add: Add a Local File System.

Description

This view allows you to create a new Local File System.

Local File System objects allow you to serve files and browse directories in Zope from the local file system.

When you add a Local File System object to a folder, the path to the file system object becomes the "mount point" for the file system. The object has a property called "basepath" which works just like the base path of a regular web server.

For example, if you create a file system object in the root folder with an id of images and set the base path to /usr/local/www/images, then the url http://zopeserver/images/bullet.gif will display the file /usr/local/www/images/bullet.gif.
