Can we explicitly deny some file extensions on a FTP 7.0 site to prevent them being uploaded/downloaded?
Yes. The new FTP 7.0 server can utilize an IIS 7.0 request filtering module to achieve this. This is similar to HTTP, which is a highlight of the new IIS 7.0 architecture. You can use appcmd.exe or IIS7 Admin Pack’s configuration editor to set the denied extensions under the system.ftpServer/security/requestFiltering section.
