    Today I had a new user try to upload a file called VIRUS.ZIP...

    Couldn't seem to quite figure out what transfer protocol to use though.

    And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
    so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
    up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
    the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
    it off.

    Mark,

    Today I had a new user try to upload a file called VIRUS.ZIP...

    Couldn't seem to quite figure out what transfer protocol to use
    though.

    don't ya love'em?

    have you had them trying to upload Photo.scr or just looking for it?

    I have. I've got photo.scr, info.zip, favicon.ico, and now virus.zip
    in my prohibited filenames. I may add wildcards of exe, com, etc. as
    well.
