can i block zip files upload on server (godaddy linux shared hosting) ?
Acutally i have to provide ftp access to my employees and dont want them to upload zip or rar files.Can i prevent such uploads ?
Employees access net using proxy and i am thinking of software /browser plugin options to allow ftp access.

Hello,
Unfortunately you can’t stop such uploads on a shared account because the server configuration will need to be changed to make this possible which would effect all of their customers on that server.
Your best bet would be a VPS/dedicated server where you’re able to change the server settings.

A VPS/dedicated server will probably allow you to set the parameters but I think the more cost effective option would to set up an uploader script instead of giving full FTP access.
With a simple upload script you can set the file size limits, the types of files they can upload, and when they can upload.
It is a much more control option and probably will cost you less. And since you are using a Linux based server host, PHP upload scripts are quite prevalent. Just google and you’ll find what you need.
Why don’t you want to provide them acces for separated folders only and allow them to upload what they need or want?
i dont want them to download/access the work they do at office …they may upload zip files etc.
You can setup a upload script and exclude zip extension from its list. I guess that’s the only you can do this in a shared hosting account.
So install block for IPs which do not belong to your office and I believe that will limit their access.
great idea !! Unluckily ISP has provided me dynamic IP …
