Implementing FSRM file screening

FSRM has a file screening option. This feature allows you to control the types of files you allow to be stored on your file server. You could, for example, define a file screen to prohibit a user from saving music files (files with the .MP3 or .FLAC extension) to your file server. With file screening, if a user attempts to save a file such as GD71-02-18.T09.FLAC, FSRM prevents the saving of the file.

To configure FSRM file screening, you need to specify the folder FSRM should protect and a file screen template that describes the characteristics of files that FSRM should block. FSRM comes with five built-in file screen templates. You can create additional templates to suit your requirements.

Each file screen template contains a set of file groups. Each file group defines a set of file extensions that FSRM can block. FSRM comes with 11 built-in file groups that cover common content types and can be updated and extended.
