This page allows you to block the download of certain files, those that may cause a security threat due to the risk of viruses, etc. or just a distraction to the staff like video files. These may include exe, vbs or avi files.
This option is enabled by default, but no action is taken as nothing is defined.
Disable this option by unchecking the 'Deny access to files with the listed extensions' option.
To add file extensions to the list follow these steps:
Enter the extension in the 'Extension' field on the page
Click the 'Add extension' button
The defined extension will be added to the list, no files of this type will be able to be downloaded. The person attempting the download will receive the error 'Forbidden access' this is due to the system settings.
To remove a file type from the list follow these steps:
Select the file type from the list by clicking on it
Click the 'Remove Extension' button
The entry will be removed and the page refreshed. Files of that type will now be allowed to be downloaded.
