Cannot upload a .exe file to a sharepoint site.

Hi,

I am unable to upload an exe file to a site created using MOSS 2007. Inspite of removing .exe from the list of blocked files in Central Administrator, I still cannot upload a exe file. How do i upload a .exe file?

Any information on this will be appritiated..

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Sunit Pinto

Probably the easiest way is to just zip up the file. SPS was not really meant to replace a file share so things like exe files are better left off of it. I believe Mike Fitzmaurice has a blog entry about just this type of thing.

Executables should still go on the network and not in SharePoint. SharePoint is for documents / data. File shares are still for executables IMHO.
