DeadBeet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Why does TCAdmin not allow for .dll files to be uploaded? Is this a security risk? Also, how do I make it so all my customers can upload .dll files? Thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jissh Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Go to: System Settings/Plugins/FTP Configuration. Then edit "Restricted Extensions" to suit your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadBeet Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 But why is it a security risk? What can they do? -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnp Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Briefly, the major security implication that can be brought upon by allowing users to upload dll files is mainly the ability to include code and allow full code execution via a plugin in a DLL. also, DLL's are normally or can normally be run with unrestricted access to the underlying operating system....This can create havok if put in the wrong hand, and with a few more resources..

DougK94 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Certain mods may have a .dll in them, but it is easy enough for your customer to submit a support ticket and then you install it for them. If you are using TCAdmin for your personal clan servers, it is not that big of a problem to go ahead and allow .dll, .bat, etc. as you hopefully do not give all clan members FTP and file manager access.

ECF Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The best way to allow .dlls is to use the mod system within TCAdmin and create a mod for the client. That way they can install the mod, but it will only take the files that you put in the mod zip file and extract them to their folder, leaving the .dll protection on the filemanager and FTP intact.
