There is always a security risk when using upload features as writepermissions must be enabled on the directory that you upload files andimages to. This can be used by a hacker to hack your site and/or server.]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2004 13:28:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/security-concern-re-upload-components_topic12077_post67107.html#67107 <![CDATA[Security concern re upload components : I have spoken to our administrator...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/security-concern-re-upload-components_topic12077_post67097.html#67097 Author: fathom

I have spoken to our administrator about installing Dundas upload and he is concerned with letting anything come into the server. Is anything going to be able to come through? Are we not exposing ourselves to hackers and virus vendors? Anything to try and allay his fears would be useful.

Thanks
