You can create a Deny URL rule, using a wildcard (*) and an extension
(e.g. .mp3). Put that higher in the rules list than any Allow rule which
would otherwise let that URL go through. If you have proxy
authentication working, you can assign the deny rule to users, groups or
containers to selectively deny that traffic.
Sooner or later though, you will probably find that someone gets cute and
starts changing the extensions on files, or removing them, at least for
ones they put up on their own websites.

I can I block download PDF file on the web.

On the webpage, Showing PDF file using <object> element.
I want to block download file.
but reader support download control.
How Could I do block control?

To view any content from the web, it is first downloaded. So what you wish for is already impossible if they can see it.

Downloads different file type.

I'm downloading Word documents, from email for example, and they are being saved to hard drive as application files. Jeopardy files to be exact, a program I have for Classroom Jeopardy.
Help????

Right click on the file in question (hold down the Control key while clicking in place of a right click) and select Get Info. About mid-way down the window you should see "Open with" and below it a drop down box with the application that handles that file type.
If you have MS Office either select it if it's available on the drop down or select Other and navigate to Word from there. Once it's been selected select the "Change All...." and now all the .doc files (or whatever you're trying to open) will be associated with Word.
Of course this assumes that the files are indeed Word documents.

Block Attachments by File Type

We have requirement where we want to block emails with attachment type :
.ade .cmd .eml .ins .mdb .mst .reg .url .wsf .adp .com .exe .isp .mde .pcd .scr .vb .wsh .bas .cpl .hlp .js .msc .pif .sct .vbe .bat .crt .hta .jse .msi .pl .scx .vbs .chm .dll .inf.lnk .msp .pot .shs .wsc… etc.
Some of these extensions are not listed in File type under content filter. Please let me know the alternate way to block the same.

You will be best suited to create a message filter to scan and drop. Similar to:
attach_drop: if (attachment-filename =='(?i)\\.(ade|cmd|eml|ins|mdb|mst|reg|url|wsf|adp|com|exe|isp|mde|pcd|scr|vb|wsh|bas|cpl|hlp|js|msc|pif|sct|vbe|bat|crt|hta|jse|msi|pl|scx|vbs|chm|dll|inf|lnk|msp|pot|shs|wsc)$'){
drop();
See the User Guide for full details on message filter, and examples. They may contain a better solution, and provide you full details on getting started, tweaking.

Blocking attachments of file type .icl

Hi
We would like to configure our IronPort server to drop attachments of type iCal (.icl). However I can not find that file type under file types in the Attachment file info File type is. Is there some way to add a custom file type in IronPort? Or will it work with adding a filename contains *.icl type of condition?
In the log it shows the attachment as a name of meeting.icl but I dont know if all the iCal meetings has that name or if that meeting simply was named that way.

Hello Andreas,
easiest way would be matching to the file name with the file name action in message or content filter (I suppose you'd not need a condition for that, because an action drop-attachment-by-filename is already a perfect fit, and makes the filter easier).
In theory, there is also a message filter condition called "attachment-binary-contains", which let's you enter a binary pattern, i.e. a magic number for a given file type. However, this condition has no corresponding action to drop that attachment, so it would be only useful to quarantine or drop a whole message.
Hope that helps,
Andreas

Download different file types on nokia lumia 920

Hi,
I recently got myself a nokia lumia 920.. Great phone i must say, however i find this phone is more limiting than the iPhone, or a cheap black berry curve
Firstly, you cannot download anything from the internet that is not compatible with the phone, for example, .exe, .zip, .dll etc etc. This is the most annoying thing for me, as i constantly need to download software, drivers and tools to copy later to my computer. The other night i urgently needed internet access on my PC, and wanted to tether using my phone, NO USB tether support - HOW LAME!. anyways, i got myself a wireless card for my PC, but did not have the drivers for it... And could not download the drivers using my Lumia. So i managed to get the micro sim working in my old blackberry 9300 curve, and successfully downloaded my wifi drivers. So not being able to download anything either than apps and pictures on this lumia makes it a huge fail, what is the use of having so much storage and high broadband speed on this phone?
Next is the bluetooth,
I hate it! cannot define what services to connect over bluetooth... for example:
I have a bluetooth enabled radio in my car, and connect my Lumia to it. Works great for phone calls, however if you lock/unlock the phone, type a message or use the phone in anyway, it cuts whatever is playing on my radio and changes it to bluetooth audio mode... Now with my previous phones, blackberry, samsung etc. i could set the bluetooth service to only work as handsfree, and not stream all my phone's audio through to bluetooth. With the nokia Lumia, there is no options when it comes to bluetooth, either on or off - LAME
And then the magnetic charger....
Does not work, charged the phone until full, next morning the phone is off - dead flat (6hours after fully charged)
I exchanged the charger twice already, and sent the phone in for repairs, this problem is still not resolved. So i have been using my old blackberry charger to charge the lumia - lasts +- 1.5 days now with constant usage.
The nokia lumia has all the basic smart phone stuff - GPS navigation, exchange email supp, sync drive(skydrive etc), USB connectivity and storage, and internet tether - but the limiting options for downloading and bluetooth make this phone less of a smart phone than my blackberry curve. This phone is just pretty, and should only be used by people who want something fancy and limited, or developers that need to test apps on windows mobile 8.

Did you check the detailed Info of the Application ? Does it mention the functionality which you think is missing ?

Can an iPod download all files?

I'm considering buying an iPod touch. I need it to have a full functioning browser that can surf the web and download all file types and temporarily store them on the iPod's storage and then by virtue of connecting it to a computer off-load said files to that computer. PDA functions are more important than music and video though active streaming is cool.
Oh, and obviouly it must be fully WiFi capable.
Does the iPod do this?
Or maybe the iPhone does this (WiFi or via phone service)?

Tech specs for iPod Touch. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopipod/family/ipodtouch?mco=MTIxMTE Yes, Wi-Fi.

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

Trying to find answers for the question "Why is this file type blocked from being uploaded into SharePoint"

At least once a month - sometimes much more frequently - I get calls from users asking why the file extension they "need" to upload to SharePoint is blocked.
Most recently, it was a Microsoft Access database that the user was attempting to upload to a document library. Before that, it was a shortcut link (*.url). And so on.
Is there a reference document which goes over the reasons why specific file types are blocked?
Thanks!

Each blocked file format has it's own reasons for not being allowed to be stored on a SharePoint library.
Some of them are blocked because they would be processed by SharePoint Servers during the upload/download sequences, thus, possibly corrupting the system ( like dll files ). Others would cause Crawl to break ( url files ).
The Access database files are blocked for two valid reasons. First, because saving "live" to those files using Windows explorer window ( WebDAV ) doesn't work. Second because SharePoint product managers want us to use SharePoint lists instead.
And it does makes sense.
If you're in the middle of a migration from file servers to a SharePoint solution, your people could use these situations to stop and think about it for a little:
Really ? Now that we have SharePoint, couldn't we do things a little bit differently ?

Ability to block file types from websites

Hi All,
Seeming the knowledge base wasnt much help and I cant get through to support.
I was hoping someone here could help.
I am trying to create a policy which will block downloads only for webmail sites. I do not want any users able to download any attachments from webmail sites.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the reply.
Couldnt get hold of support as my S160 gives this error message
The Critical message is:

obviously I have removed my real domain name and serial number.
Obviously email works as the unit itself was able to email me the error and I have checked the settings are correct.
Can someone provide a link in the KB for how to setup a poicy to block all downloads from a web site.
Thanks

Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...
