Re: Prevent exe from being uploaded

I am using ASPUpload to accommodate user uploads but I want to prevent anyone from uploading an "exe" file to a designated folder on my server. The following code successfully uploads files chosen by the user from their machine but does NOT prevent an "exe" file from being uploaded. Any ideas what's broken?

I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Just a note: that will only prevent someone from uploading a file named
"exe". What will stop someone from naming an EXE to foo.bin and
uploading it?
