Hi,

We have recently deployed Dspace 7.6.1 in our library. While creating new item, we want to allow upload of some specific file format only while other file-formats (such as .exe, .dll, com, .sql, .ear, .war etc) should be restricted from upload. How can we achieve this? Can we do this by configuration change? Please help us with steps to follow.

Thanks

Hi Raghu,

Are you using a reverse proxy in your configuration. If you are using a reverse proxy such nginx, you can restrict file upload based on extensions using it.
