yes, that's the case

i already know how to retrieve the filename of the uploaded file, i  
want to know how it is possible to use it in a url so that the file is  
returned when somebody uses such an url.

i.e. instead of

http://nohost/plone/foo/filedata

i want to be able to use

http://nohost/plone/foo/bar.tgz

for download.

also, what do you mean by 'to detect if you're using the good field'?

thanks again,

tom
