file upload restrictions

[m2babaey]

Hi
admin can upload files in some ways . for example uploading files in media section in admin panel or using download galleries to upload files. but i have noticed that there is no restriction in file type. then one can easily upload trojans to a server. how can we restrict file type?
is there any restriction for file size? how can we change its setting?
thanks

Hello

Did you find out whether or not there are restrictions for file sizes and how they can be changed? I'm having trouble uploading files myself.
Thank you!

The upload restriction are not in websitebaker. There might be 2 possible PHP Values, which restrict the uploading of files.

1) upload_max_filesize - found in php.ini and controls the dataamount, usually in MB
2) max_execution_time - also in php.ini restricts the time a script may run, usually in seconds

some hosters do allow overriding these values, some don't ...

cheers

Often you can override the settings with a simple .htaccess file with the following content in it:

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
