Hi there all, I just added an upload file feature to my website for friends to use and, frankly, anybody else that stumbles upon it. All it does is stores files on my server for people to view/download.
However, I have put no restrictions on what filetypes are allowed and was wondering since this is an EXTREMELY bad idea, before I go public, what exactly should I allow and disallow? And what are their titles? (image/jpeg, image/gif, etc.)
Thanks! -influx
bump!
i'd only allow for users to upload the main file types, for example.
.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .tif, .zip, .htm, .html, .doc, .xls etc...
search google for mime types for more...
🙂
