Concrete5 won't upload .exe file

Permalink
I am getting the message invalid file extension when I attempt to upload a .exe file. Thanks

Concrete doesn't allow .exe files to be uploaded, as it is bad practice to have users download .exe files (they will get all sorts of warnings).

May I suggest you see if you can compress the folder (make it a .zip) and see if you can upload it then?

If you really must have .exe files uploaded, you'll have to edit the file types that are allowed (a core Concrete5 system file)
- I believe it is located at /concrete/config/file_types.php

You will want to save the existing file_types.php file to /config/file_types.php and then make your changes there (this protects you from future upgrades [it creates an override] - you should never edit the core files directly).
