Uploading Files

[ViolentCrimes]

Where is the allow list for file to be upload to the server for some reason I am not able to upload .so and dll files to the ftp which leads me to believe there is an allow list which I do not see anywhere?

Also I can upload of files just not those 2 so far.

There are 2 ways to restrict files. One is in Each of the game's settings under file system permissions. This configuration is specific for each game.

 

 

The other is in Override.config. Edit and remove *.dll* and *.so* from RestrictedFileNames. You might have to restart the monitor after editing this file.

 

The settings in Override.config will override any setting configured in for each game

Shouldn't the override.config be able to be edited from the web interface. Why is there 2 ways you should have only one atleast in my book that would me more sense.

The features in override.config where requested by hosts that need to protect executables. It has been available since v1:

https://clients.tcadmin.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=50

 

For example ventrilo hosts need to protect ventrilo_srv.exe. If somebody gets access to your database or to your control panel they can remove restrictions that you put on exe files then download whatever they want. With restrictions placed in Override.config the hacker can't access any restricted files even if they modify the database. They would need remote desktop or ssh login.

 

The difference is that in v1 you need to create this file manually. In v2 the configuration utility asks you which files you want to restrict and it blocks *.exe, *.dll and *.so by default (see attachment). I guess I will have to leave this blank by default to avoid confusion.

 

To answer your question, Override.config can be updated using the web interface by running the configuration utility again.

After TCAdmin has been configured you can only access the configuration utility in Windows using http://127.0.0.1:8880/Interface/Configuration

 

On Linux you need to edit tcadmin-config. Uncomment this line and restart the monitor:

export ENABLE_CONFIG_UTILITY=true

Then access the configuration utility with http://ServerIP:8080/Interface/Configuration

 

 

I know this is complicated but right now there aren't many reasons to access the configuration utility after TCAdmin has been configured. There will be a non-web configuration utility later on.
