Lifay allow to upload any type of files to document library

I am not sure about what types of file liferay allow to upload, I know that we can configue the upload file extensions in the control panel.

But I tried to modify the .exe to .txt, I still can upload it.

Does this mean I can upload any type of file?

Check the portal.properties file for this documentation about extensions.


#
    # A file extension of * will permit all file extensions.
    #
    dl.file.extensions=*
    #dl.file.extensions=.bmp,.css,.doc,.docx,.dot,.gif,.gz,.htm,.html,.jpg,.js,.lar,.odb,.odf,.odg,.odp,.ods,.odt,.pdf,.png,.ppt,.pptx,.rtf,.swf,.sxc,.sxi,.sxw,.tar,.tiff,.tgz,.txt,.vsd,.xls,.xlsx,.xml,.zip,.jrxml

Can you provide us with the exact steps so we can reproduce the error? Please include Liferay's version number and which bundle you are using.
It may be a bug but we need to verify it first.

Liferay6.1-ce-ga1

First I configured Documents and Media allowed upload file .txt.

Then I modified abc.exe to abc.txt.

The file was uploaded successfully.

You mean file name was changed successfully.

no, not the name of the file. the extension of the file. .exe to .txt.

So the point is that only file with permitted file extension can be uploaded but that file extension can be changed to those are prohibited to be uploaded.
