FileUpload
FileUpload lets users upload a single attachment along with the form.
Specific Settings
Width
The upload control width (pixels or percent).
Required
When checked, a file must be uploaded before submitting.
Allowed File Types
Allowed upload extensions are configured via Upload Extensions in the General settings (available since 11.00.02):
- Separate multiple extensions with commas, e.g.
jpg,png,pdf,docx. - Leave empty to use the default list (20 common formats: images, audio, documents, archives, etc.).
- Web markup types such as
svg,htmlandxmlare always rejected and cannot be enabled. - The front-end file picker and server-side validation stay in sync; rejected uploads return a specific reason (file name plus the allowed format list).
WARNING
If still restricted, also check the DNN global settings (Host → Configuration Manager → Allowable File Extensions) and the server's maxRequestSize. The single file size limit can be set via Max file size in the general settings.
Viewing Uploaded Files
