Filtering content

On the FTP Content tab, you can control the type of files that the FTP proxy allows for downloads and
uploads. For example, many hackers use executable files to deploy viruses or worms on a computer, so
you could select to deny the request for *.exe from the list of allowed files in the Downloads text box.
You can also select to deny a file type through FTP that is not listed. For example, if you do not want to
let users upload Windows Media files to an FTP server, add *.wma to the list. Use the asterisk (*) as a
wild card.
Select the FTP Content tab.
