    Restricting files in media folder

    Hi,

    Is there any way to restrict uploading files inside media folder.

    I can see an option inside UmbracoSettings.Config

    <disallowedUploadFiles>ashx,aspx,ascx,config,cshtml,vbhtml,asmx,air,axd,swf,xml,html,htm,svg,php,htaccess</disallowedUploadFiles>

    Actually I need to upload only .jpg,.png,.jpeg,.gif files only.

    So,it will be difficult to specify all the file types inside "disallowedUploadFiles".

    Please help me ASAP.

    Thanks in advance

    Anju

    You should set the maxRequestLength in your web.config

     <configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="xxx" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

    For IIS7 and higher I believe you should include the following in your web.config

     <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800" /> 
      </requestFiltering>
    </security>
  </system.webServer>

    Hi Anju,

    What you could do is use saving event of the mediaservice (see https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/events/mediaservice-events )

    Then you can cancel the save when the file doesn't have the correct extension.

    Best,

    Richard
