Got it all working ..... After spending some time doing full ftp backups I rebooted the machine with a 'CHKDSK /f' scheduled for the restart (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814594). It seems to have done the trick. I also removed a genie back up software trial that...

In investigating this further I think I have discovered a bigger problem ... or at least a symptom of a bigger problem .. which probably lies behind all my problems. I was considering a disk defrag soon but discovered there was no 'volume' shown. So I used windows explorer to check the...

Yes it is NTFS. It is one of two dedicated servers I run. The other is showing the security tab and I've check that it too does not have the 'Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)' option. Away from the actual ... everything is virtual

Thanks tfg13 ... exactly what I thought but it isn't there. The final option in advanced settings is 'show pop-up description for folder and desktop items' !?? Away from the actual ... everything is virtual

Windows server 2003 web edition: Somehow simple file sharing has been turned on and I can't discover how to turn it off but I need my security tabs back. Tia Struth Away from the actual ... everything is virtual

I think I may have found what I need. It is from motobit (I already use their iistracer). This may give me exactly what I need ... but I shall have to trial it first. The file type function (adaptable for my ends): http://www.motobit.com/help/asp-upload/sa300.htm The upload app itself...

First of all ... big thanks for your input. I have run my own tests and found that if they rename an 'exe' to 'doc'(the most common) it is reported as msword... shame! 'The average joe' does not have the ability to rename their files on my server ... the problem arrives when they download it...

Thanks guys... Where/how would I discover such specs and then run a matching application It does use 'file' etc but again would asp or even javascript be able to carry out such an examination? Away from the actual ... everything is virtual

Called into meetings all day yesterday .... so first chance to reply..... There is no vulnerability or liability to me but within this extranet I have been asked to see if I can help prevent it. There are only a few file formats accepted including image ones and pdfs, word docs and access dbs...

I need to prevent people uploading exe files. I presently use aspupload. However there are users who are changing the extension name to for example '.doc' and then downloading it to a target computer and changing the extension back .... Does any one know of any software or anti-virus that...

Thanks kaht. I was having problems getting your regexp to work so I did this little test thing. But still it did not work smoothly as I got not no alert on checkBad and a 'no problem' alert on testGood even if I introduced bad characters like 'ok%& doc.doc'. Have I got it wrong in removing the...

Thanks all, particularly those who gave code examples. Tracy's code was a particular thing of beauty and worked like a treat - and many thanks for the explanation. Tek-tips does it again. I shall raise a question in the javascript forum and point people to this thread. Away from the actual ...
