Also in response to dean's suggestion to try to determine what type of file it is by digging deeper... that ain't so easy to do. Tried it once and gave up due to complexity. I did end up invoking the virus scanner on a file and limited the extension on the backend. So if someone tried to upload some crazy file it just deleted it and notified them that there was a problem.
To filter the client side use the flash widget, i think you can also use that upload widget in CF's flash forms. I do remember that there is a hack to get it to work in CF 7. It was available from the asfusion folks though. -Steven On 10/11/07, Cody Wehunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yep. Thanks.
