Very cool, Massimo. Thank you for your quick response! But ... - Shouldn't that be os.path.join? - Should I interpret your message as meaning that this will also work with the standard download function -- the one that does a "return response.download(request,db)"? - Can the db.table.field.uploadfolder be any place on the file system, even places outside of web2py?
