Would recommend you research the Panels module for your portlet question.
Yes files (attachments) served out by drupal must be resident on the web server ('sites/default/files'). The most straightforward way of getting the ifles to the server is by uploading them and attaching them to pages and/or stories that are created by drupal. You need the upload module enabled in order to accomplish this.

Dear Friends,
Few questions about Drupal:
Could anybody know how can I create Yahoo homepage like portlet (which has several tabs like: Features, Environment etc. and has several links and small picture) on Drupal page?
Another question: I have a 20 GB data, Is it a good idea to copy these data to webserver folder in sites/default/files? or we can use any other folder of c: drive (If we can use c: drive folder can users access from web browser?) Will it cause any problem in future like slow response of site or any other issues? or anybody has any other idea regarding these unstructured data?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any module or tricks for this ? Try the http://drupal.org/project/webfm module. Or Create an .htacess file containing only one line: Options +Indexes and copy it to all the directories that you want to show. Then create a post in Drupal, select "Full HTML" input format, and enter (for example): <iframe src="http://www.example.com/your/path" width="100%" height="400px"> </iframe> Preview it and adjust it. > Thanks. > > -- > [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ] >
