[Samba] Restricting file types

[Mike Stewart]

Yes, and very useful it is too :-)

In the Globals section I put this to stop all users cluttering up the server
with mp3 files. You can put it in each required share definition rather than
globals though.

veto files = /*.mp3/

basically it starts with a / then file name and type and then ends with /

so,  veto files = /*.bat/*.scr/mike.*/

would stop all bat and scr files, and any file called mike with any ext.

I use SWAT for configuring my Samba shares and the help file explains it
well.

HTH

Samba List:



Is it possible to limit what filename extensions can be stored in a
samba share? We use samba to allow our windows web designers to use drag
and drop when deploying new pages on our website. We want to be able to
limit which filename extensions can be saved to these shares. Is this
possible and if not and alternatives?
