Sadly, the current SWFUpload engine only has a setting for which
filetypes to include, not which to exclude.
file_types
The file_types setting accepts a semi-colon separated list of file
extensions that are allowed to be selected by the user. Use '*.*' to
allow all file types.
We could can exclude files as they are added to the file queue but the
end-user would still be able to "select" the excluded files in the
file browser.

Cindy,
Good suggestion. We'll file a feature request for this. Hopefully
our underlying upload engine, SWFUpload, will support something like
this.

Aaron, Colin and Justin, thanks a lot for your help. Fluid file
uploader in ATutor has been successfully upgraded to 1.1.
Another thought: one feature that Fluid may consider to add in is
the file types to be excluded from the uploader. File uploader
already supports the file types that can be uploaded by setting the
uploadManager option "fileTypes". When this option is set, only the
given file types are listed in the popup OS file dialog.
In ATutor, administrators can define a list of file types that are
NOT allowed to be uploaded into ATutor. For example, the files with
extension "exe" or "php" or "bat" are forbidden as they have
potential to ruin the system. It would be nice that Fluid can
support something like "fileTypesToExclude", which could either
stop the file types being listed in file dialog, or, when they are
selected in dialog and go into queue, show an error like "illegal
file type" besides those files.
