Filter filetype file extension for file upload

How do I configure KM to disallow uploading of certain filetypes, for instance, .exe or .bmp? Thanks

Hi Mick
Do you have a solution for this issue?
i also have a same requirement.
If you have, please let me know.

Searching for good ASP file upload extension...

Hi. Can anyone recommend a really good ASP/VBScript file upload extension for DW 8.0.2?
I've looked everywhere and most of the links on the Exchange are dead, or the companies no longer exist.
There are some solutions offered by WebAssist but they only work with, and support, PHP now.
I used to have Interakt's File Upload extension but, of course, Adobe bought them and wiped them out, including support for their extensions.
I'd really appreciate your recommendations. There's surely someone out there still using ASP/VBScript and DW 8.0.2...isn't there?
Thank you.
Regards
Nath.

Hi
Never used this one myself, but you could try the one from dmxzone - http://www.dmxzone.com/go?12064.

Rename file extension during a file upload ??

I need to rename the extension of a file at some point during the file upload. I am not sure where to do this at.
The file needs to be renamed before it is written to the directory.
Basically, the file will come in with a .txt or .doc type. Based on a users profile, I will change the type to a non-relavent number such as 1111.
Here is my upload servlet. Can you tell me where to change the type so it will write the file with the new extension?
Thanks.
public class FileExport {
//restrict upload files to 1 Meg
private static final int DEFAULT_MAX_POST_SIZE = 1024 * 1024;

I am also need to rename a file and extension while uploadinf the file to the server. The oreilly example seems only save as the same file name and ext. I wonder if you have the ability chANGE OIT OR NOT. pLEASE LET ME KNOW

Can not select a PDF file in the file uploader window after clicking the Browse... button for a file type input element.

After upgrading to 5 (this worked in 4) I can not select a PDF file in the File Upload dialog that appears when I click the Browse button next to an HTML file type input element. The specific HTML element source code has the attribute: ACCEPT="image/*". I can select image files such as jpg, png, tiff, etc. But not PDF. This worked great in Furefox 4 and works in the latest version of Safari.
The HTML code for the form element is:
INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file_1" ACCEPT="image/*" SIZE=35
The File Upload dialog lists all files with PDF extension as dimmed and not selectable in Firefox 5.
Can you help?

Hi Purush
Unfortunately we couldn't solve the problem. Our IT specialist checked it with SAP directly. SAP doesn't support the SAP KW solution anymore. Therefore we checked-in the document in ".doc"-Format.

Unable to install the Novell File Upload extension to upload directories

Using Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 I'm unable to install the Novell File
Upload extension to upload directories.
As per the pop-up help page, I've added
extensions.install.requireBuiltInCerts in about:config and set it to
false but that has made no difference, even after restarting the browser.
I've also tried this with Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
(10.6.8) - unsupported I know - with the same result.
Do I really have to use Internet Explorer? Urgh!

So, with Firefox, first hitting http://<server>/zenworks/ after install
displays
--begin--
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to <server>, but we can't
confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted
identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However,
this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could
mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't
continue.
[Get me out of here!]

---end---
so I click "I Understand the Risks", [Add Exception...] then [Confirm
Security Exception] at which point http://<server>/zenworks/ correctly
displays and I can log in. Checking Tools | Options | [View
Certificates] shows an (Unknown) server certificate for <server> with a
Permanent lifetime.
Is that what you mean by trusting the ZCM CA?
Perhaps this is why Firefox 9.x is not a supported browser though I
thought that was more to do with Mozilla treating major version numbers
as minor ones? Gee if only Firefox hadn't automatically upgraded itself
from 8.x to 9.x!

11.3 File Upload Extension

Since upgrading to 11.3 we're unable to install the file upload extension for firefox (ESR 24.5) on OS X (tried 10.8 and 10.9 - the extension works fine in win7). The link "Install the Novell File Upload extension to upload directories" is there but clicking doesn't do anything. It was working under 11.2.4, but hasn't worked since we upgraded to 11.3. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?

Whilst I think you're correct the documentation needs updating since it
currently implies that whilst IE is supported on Windows (well duh!) and
Firefox 26.0 and 27.0 on Windows and Linux, Firefox ESR 17.0 and 24.0
are supported on all platforms due to absence of Windows and/or Linux
qualifiers.
From
https://www.novell.com/documentation...uirements.html
--begin--
The following web browsers are supported:
* Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit only) on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2
* Internet Explorer 9 (32-bit only) on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2
* Internet Explorer 10 (32-bit only) on Windows Vista, Windows 7,
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server
2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012
IMPORTANT:
* Internet Explorer versions prior to version 8 are not supported.
* Internet Explorer 11 is not supported; there are a few known issues
related to the support of this version of Internet Explorer in ZENworks.
* Firefox ESR version 17.0 and 24.0
* Firefox version 26.0 and 27.0 (including any patches) on Windows and
Linux devices

I'll report it (along with missing CSS formatting and some broken links
I just found).
HTH.

Using Resource type in Netweaver 7.1 for file upload

Dear All,
I want to check the file extension and file size before uploading it through a file upload UI element in Web Dynpro 7.1.
How to go about it? And I am using following code for image upload. Is it correct one?
IWDResource photoData = wdContext.nodePhotos().getPhotosElementAt(i).getPhotoData();
FtpURLConnection myConnection = new FtpURLConnection(myUrl);
myConnection.connect();
OutputStream out = myConnection.getOutputStream();
int temp = 0;
InputStream text = photoData.read(false);
while((temp=text.read())!=-1)
        out.write(temp);
out.flush();
out.close();
myConnection.close();
Kindly help.

Hello so I was working with AE3 for 2 years and i had no problems with it but.. when i reinstall my windows and install AE3 with same installation file as always i was using.. and I got problem. When i try to import AVI or wmv or other video clips except mov format I getting this error "After Effects error: Can't import file "(FILE TITTLE)" unsupported filetype or extension".. i tried everything: 3 different installs of AE3 but nothing always same.. so decided this is windows problem so I installed new one with SP3 but i got same problem then I tried it on SP2 but still same problem.. So i installed windows7 and my AE3 was working but i didn't liked a windows 7 and i back on xp SP3 and guess what guys? yes! i got same error again on AE3. I don't know guys what to do. Can you help me?

I assume that you mean "After Effects CS3". After Effects 3 came out more than a decade ago.
Do you have QuickTime Player installed? After Effects requires QuickTime to be installed to import some file types.
Could you be explicit about exaclty what files you have tried to import? Even giving file names might help. For example, this error has been seen when the characters used in the file name were non-standard characters (e.g., this thread).
When you re-installed Windows, did you also re-install any codecs that you may have previously had on the system?

File Upload Extension

When using the Input File Upload (af:inputFile) component, is there a way to set the file extension for certain mime types?
For example, when the user uploads a file, I only want to allow files with the .doc (MS Word) extension. Thanks.

Actually not. You can only check the filename or mime type after the user has selected and uploaded the file. Then you can use the code from the post above.

Novell File Upload extension not Installing

I am trying to install the Novell File Upload extension so I can upload my PE file. It will not let me install the plugin in IE or Firefox. I have tried Firefox 22 and IE 8. I have tried from an XP, Win7 and 2003 server. I have tried all of the Active X switches in IE and I have tried the adding the about:config entries in Firefox.
Has anyone gotten this to work? To be honest this is the first time I have tried to get it to work so I can not say it was working before I updated. I went from 11.2.1 mu2 to 11.2.4.

There is no Digital Signature tab for the .cab file or the .dll's inside the .cab file. I have only checked one of my primary servers. I will check the others. What would my next step be if none of them are signed?

JSF RI 1.0 File Uploads mit Multipart Filter

Hi there,
I already posted my problem - I need support for a basic file upload. My requirement is, that I want to access teh file data in a Managed Bean method and then decice what to to with it.
I decided to use Jason Hunters Multipart Filter, that comes with the oreilly servlet jar file. My problem with the following code is, that the upload() method is never called. I think the filter is not invoked, but I don't know why. Could anyone please see, if I am on the right track?
First, here is my web.xml with the filter:
     
     
<filter>
<filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.oreilly.servlet.MultipartFilter</filter-class>

</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
--> this code comes at the end of my web.xml, so after the jsf cotnroller servlet is configured, etc.
in my jsp page, I got this form:
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="25%" align="right">Bild</td>
<td width="75%"><input type="file" name="file"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><h:commandButton id="upload" action="#{uploadBean.upload}" value="#{messages.uploadFile}"/>
     </td>
</tr>
</table>
</h:form>
--> the file upload is done with a normal html tag, because there is no jsf tag for it.
then, here us may upload() method in the managed bean:
(the upload method is never called... why???? )
     public String upload()
          log.debug("entering upload()...");
          // Files can be read if the request class is MultipartWrapper
          // Init params to MultipartWrapper control the upload handling
          HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
          if (request instanceof MultipartWrapper)
               log.debug("The MultiPart Filter recognized the mulitpart request.");
                    // Cast the request to a MultipartWrapper
                    MultipartWrapper multi = (MultipartWrapper) request;
                    // Show which files we received
                    Enumeration files = multi.getFileNames();
                    while (files.hasMoreElements())
                         String name = (String) files.nextElement();
                         String filename = multi.getFilesystemName(name);
                         String type = multi.getContentType(name);
                         File f = multi.getFile(name);
                         log.debug("name: " + name);
                         log.debug("filename: " + filename);
                         log.debug("type: " + type);
                         if (f != null)
                              log.debug("length: " + f.length());
          return "upload";
THANX! it would be great to get this sample running!

Hello!
I have a photo which I store in MSSQL db as a BLOB so it looks like:
| |
| Photo |
| |
-----------------------+
| c:\my.jpg | choose |
-----------------------+
where
<f:verbatim>
<input name="photo" id="photo" type="file">
</f:verbatim>
is rendered into standard choose file dialog (unfortunately I can't change it).
So when user click "choose" it's able to select local file (a picture).
Then in textbox (input) appear the path (of course it can write it directly).
A click to the picture
a) launch javascript:
onclick="document.getElementById('photo').name='#{DatosPersonalesForm.foto}';"
that change image value (file name) so I could know which file to look for later:
<h:graphicImage value="#{DatosPersonalesForm.foto}" ...
b) after this id calls the actionListener:
<h:commandLink actionListener="#{DatosPersonalesForm.uploadPhoto}" ...
In DatosPersonalesForm I have foto property (with get/set) which store foto
public String getFoto()
public void setFoto()
The problem is how to return foto: I put an image in a session and get it from another servlet (registred in web.xml) which intercepts /images/* and return ones from the session.
I tried use Base64 encoding to embedd images directly, but it works only in Mozilla (even it's html 4.01).
here is my full DatosPersonalesForm.class (with some additional crap):
public class DatosPersonalesForm implements Observer, Serializable
private int idCentro = 1;
private CurrentClient client;
private String foto;
//private String data;
private Abonado abonado;
private Persona persona;
private DireccionTableModel direcciones;
public DatosPersonalesForm()
abonado = new Abonado();
persona = new Persona();
direcciones = new DireccionTableModel();
public void setClient(CurrentClient client)
this.client = client;
client.addObserver(this);
public void setIdCentro(int idCentro)
this.idCentro = idCentro;
direcciones.setIdCentro(idCentro);

direcciones.setIdPersona(idAbonado);
public Abonado getAbonado() { return abonado; }
public void setAbonado(Abonado abonado) { this.abonado = abonado; }
public Persona getPersona() { return persona;}
public void setPersona(Persona persona) { this.persona = persona; }
public DireccionTableModel getDirecciones() { return direcciones; }

Cheers,
D.
P.S. I live in Spain so in Spanish it's foto :-) Sometimes I got crazy coz neither Spanish nor English are my native languages...
More... in MultipartRequestWrapper you can easy remove
public Object getAttribute(String name) method. It's my intention to map messages to request properties for easy access (like check if message exists to change style of some textfield in case of error). Do you know the better way???

How to configure file upload restriction by file extension?

Hi All,
I want to know if its possible to restrict the file upload for any file extensions in CM Repositories. For example, I want that the users can not upload .avi files. Can I configure that restriction?
Regards and Thanks,
Arnau Rovira

Hi,
> How can I create a repository service?
> It's like a web service?
No. A repository service is a standard pluggable service within the KM framework. Search for "repository service" on SDN for further details.
> can I copy the upload command
> from the actual repository service
The upload command is the upload command is the upload command. It is not bound to any repository service.
Yes, you can try to extract all implementation classes for the actual upload command and create a new one under a new namespace and modify the interesting parts after decompilation. But be warned: Your questions signal that you are a beginner in the KM framework, and the things described so far are more in the direction "hardcore development"...
Hope it helps nevertheless

BI IP --- Planning function for File Upload

Hai All,
In BI IP , When I am trying to load the data (text file) by using Planning function for File Upload. I am getting an error message When I am clicking on Update .
Error Message : Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: <unknown>, value <unknown>).
In Text file I am using Tab Separation for each value
Anyone help me out.
Thanks,
Bhima

Hi Bhima
Try one of these; it should work:
1. If you are on SP 14 you would need to upgrade to SP 15. It would work fine
2. If not, then -
a] apply note 1070655 - Termination msg CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER =>GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS
b] Apply Correction Instruction 566059 [i.e: in Object - CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS,
delete the block: l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = p_infoprov ).
and insert block - l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = i_infoprov ).
Goodluck
