Is It Possible To Restrict Users To Not Be Able To Upload .msg Or .gifs With The .net File Upload
Aug 11, 2010
I need to figure out a way to prevent users from uploading a couple file types in my vb.net page. How can I prevent users from uploading .msg or .gifs during a file upload?
i am using file upload, i wanted to restrict the files showing in the dialog box to images only. That is 'Files of Type' in the dialog box should be .jpg,.jpeg,.gif,.bmp,.png
I want to limit the allowed uploaded file types to images, pdfs, and docs. What is the recommended way to approach this?I assume checking the file extension alone is not enough, since an attacked can change the file extension as he wishes.I also thought about checking against MIME Type using PostedFile.ContentType.I still don't know if this is adding any further functionality than checking against file extensions alone, and if an attacker have and ability to change this information easily.This is basically for a course management system for students to upload assignments and teachers to download and view them.
I have a file upload control in which i want to restricr the users not to upload more than 1mb file. Is it possible using custom validator or any other code. I want to raise validation before any postback happends.
I am using the async file upload control to upload to a image file. I want the user to upload only jpg files. And for that I am checking the uploadedfile content type in server side, after the upload complets. I wanna check this, before upload starts. There is one javascript method
function startUpload(sender, args){}
but how to access the content type of the file selected by user.
I want to upload files to the web servers from the client machines.
Can i upload a file on a network share folder using file upload control?
I would like to create a share folder on a file server sitting next to the web server. If i upload the file from the network share folder instead of uploading it from the client machine does it make any difference?
Will the file be stored in a temporary location before copying to the final destination? Where will be the file stored in this case of uploading it from share folder?
My testers have discovered that if you type free text into a file upload input then none of the buttons on the page work until that text is removed (so the page cannot be submitted).
I am able to replicate this with the following ASPX code (with no code behind):
(Note that I haven't bound any handlers to the page; despite this, the page is submitted when the submit button is clicked only if no text is entered into the upload text box)
Is there any way to prevent users from typing free text into a file upload control? It seems that this is only possible in IE - Firefox and Chrome natively prevent text from being entered into upload input fields.
I've seen solutions elsewhere which suggest hiding input and replacing it with a label / button combo, but this seems like it might cause more problems and work inconsistently across browsers.
I know the asp.net file upload control only allows users to select one file at a time, however i am looking for another way using asp.net to allow the users to select multiple files?
Im using a file uploader to upoad files to a folder used for upload.But the problem is this folder is a linux folder. I have made it a shared folder so that I can access from windows by samba.

I have given all permissions to this folder.Don't know whats the problem.I have used both type of slashes for directory but still it is not successful.
when i first made the DB i used access 2010 which uses the 2007 file type which supports attachments, however asp.net doesnt support the 2007 format. and the 2003 file type doesnt support attachments, i assume i use the OLE object data type but i have no idea how i get my aspx page "new.aspx" to upload an attachment. plus i want to restrict the file type to *.jpg

i am trying to upload files through the ASP.NET File Upload control.
Every thing is working fine, except for the fact that when i try to upload the file on the server i am getting an error: (probably some authorization exception).
do i need to give some rights to the upload up there on the server. If so then for which account and do i need to restart the server after giving rights?

I'm trying to upload a PDF file using our web app. I'm using the FileUpload control. The file I tried to upload was 4.7mb in size. I was unable to upload this file.

Is it possible to directly upload a file after it is browsed and selected? I mean user should not click on "submit" button after file is selected. It should be uploaded automatically when selected. Is it possible to do that with fileupload control?
I have a database of users that we used to have on a different system. The users already have their username and passwords associated with.
Now we are switching the entire system to .Net , and we will be using the membership to authenticate the users and start creating the new users with the wizard.
My question is : how could we import the users from a different database (mysql) , to the membership database on MS SQL ?
And also the passwords on the mysql database are in clear text , when we import them to the membership database on ms sql , is it going to apply the hash on them ?
