FTP file types restricted?
 

Hi all,

I just want to ask how to restrict the FILE TYPES that upload through FTP? Is there anyway to? If yes then please guide me how to do it. Thanks in advanced :)

That would probably depend on what FTP server you are using. I'm sure there are some that allow this.

FTP server? And so can we set it somewhere?

Are you running this FTP off your home computer? Explain the situation.

All right, I have a host (of course not my computer) and I've made and share a subdomain(led to a sub directory) for someone for hosting part of my host, set up a FTP account for them to access that subdomain, familiar person so I do not restrict so much, just want to make sure they won't upload some illegal file types like exe or mp3, so I want to restrict their account won't be able to upload some file types like I explain above. My host has Cpanel and I can access WHM of the server if I want. How can I do that? :)

That'll be kind of hard... as you can't set the settings of your ftp anywhere I guess.

You could make a script that checks for those restricted filetypes and deletes them, and run that script on a cron tab.

Oh yah, I'll try that out, thank you Colin F ;)

PS: I've just looked at the Cron Jobs and it says "Enter Command to run: " so what kind of command should be in there, I mean FTP commands, or SSH..., or run a script?

A script probably...

Hmmm k, I'll try it out, thanks again, great ;)
