Controlling File Upload and Deny Execute Permissions on the Upload Folder





You can strengthen the sitecore installation by restricting the access to the files that are begin uploaded by users.





If you allow users to modify the content of /upload in website root folder then you also give them permission to place the scripts and executable programs. Executing these scripts and programs can cause an unexpected behavior on the server. You must therefore prevent an uploaded file from being executed on the server side when a user attempts to download it. We recommend that you deny permissions to run scripts and executable files in the /upload folder 





 Note: You only need to perform this step if your configuration allows content authors to place files directly to the /upload folder. For example, if you use a shared directory or FTP server, content authors can quickly place a lot of media in the media library.

Sitecore Rocks web Service 403 Forbidden error Getting a 'forbidden' message when trying to connect to my local site via Sitecore Rocks Whenever we started getting the error: (403) Forbidden error message when trying to connect from my local development instance to connect the Sitecore Rocks web service, we need to fix this issue only by allowing the access to the folder as anonomous. Error The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. How to do that Every Google page I hit says that it's likely caused by the WebServices directory not having anonymous access enabled in IIS.
