Comment on Handling large files in Plone with ore.bigfile by Kapil Thangavelu

Thanks for writing this up Aaron, I just noticed it.

Re Lawrence’s comment on download, bypassing the zope process entirely, is significantly more efficient than using a file stream iterator, using the sendfile implementation effectively removes both the front end server (apache) and zope from the mix, and basically has the kernel do the file transfer from vfs to socket with neglible userland overhead. With tools like filestream iterator your still effectively copying the file through the process memory in the zope process, and the apache process (although apache may spool till disk, again causing additional writes). Hence using sendfile is the most efficent possible way to get the bits out on the wire.

Re For FTP/SFTP usage, as aaron mention the original role was trusted super user, if security is a concern across roles, an additional extension/feature could implement per user upload directories.
