[Text area]

The contents of the ExternalFile, assuming the mimetype property indicates an ASCII file type. If mimetype indicates an image type, the image will be displayed in an HTML <img> tag. If the mimetype indicates a non-image binary type, the contents cannot be viewed.

Save Changes

Saves changes made in the text area out to disk at the pathname provided. The new contents overwrite any previous content of the file. The Zope server will indicate an error if it does not have permission to perform this action. This button is not shown for non-ASCII files.

Cancel Changes

Cancels changes made in the text area, reverting to the previously saved contents. This is done by re-copying the contents of the file into the text area. This button is not shown for non-ASCII files.

Upload File

Use this to replace the contents of the ExternalFile with the contents of an uploaded file. The uploaded file cannot be empty. The upload does not in any way affect the mimetype of the file. If you mean for the mimetype to change as well, you must do this via the "Properties" tab.
