Why can’t .zip files (which may contain Godot projects) and useful and completely harmless .ogg files be uploaded to the forum? [изображение] Nothing “OK” about it.

big files, could be virus executables. I would argue most problems can be adequitely described without sending everything. If it was encouraged or normal to send the entire project with every topic I would quickly stop helping, it’s much more work on the responder’s part, and it’s an attack vector a…

In this case, we are talking about a 14KB file. Some wise administrators know the secret of how to set a file size limit on the forums (but this is probably sacred knowledge). It is not quite clear why you can “store” .png, .mp4 files that are not small. By the way, the “hint” on the forum didn’t l…

The most basic problem is that the zip file on the server is considered insecure and there is no suitable option to check for its threats.

[image] tomcat: that is not on the very limited list of allowed formats. Well, I have to say it’s really limited, but that’s because it’s made purely to explain problems and questions. But maybe we can save the files in a fixed format at once, this will be safe from a security point of view (…

[image] EX74: a file from the godot project? In this case, yeah. A folder was deleted from the project and only one .ogg file needed to be added. That’s odd. Apparently I use mostly unpopular forums, as I’ve rarely encountered such a restriction until now.

ZIP files in posts: a very useful feature! Forum Feedback
