Bad file extension scan

The scan

This scan checks that files ending with certain file extensions are not present in the uploads directory.

The fix

SecuPress will activate the « Uploads folder » module in the « Malware Scan » section. That will block direct access to those files.

What if the fix doesn't work ?

For Apache servers : the .htaccess file is probably not writeable. Access your site via FTP and open up the .htaccess file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message. 

For IIS7 servers : the web.config file is probably not writeable. Access your site via FTP and open up the web.config file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message. 

For nginx servers : SecuPress can't access the nginx.conf file. Access your site via FTP and open up the nginx.conf file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message.
