Mick Dugan Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I�m trying to send a zipped solution file to someone but my server apparently thinks it contains a virus and is rejecting it. Calling my ISP tech support line was no help at all. Is there any work around for this issue? Quote
forgottensoul Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Try renaming the extension to .doc or .dat and see if it goes through. I have seen ISP or Companies remove all .zip regardless if a virus scanner flagged it or not. Another thought is the size of the file > 5 or 10 megs? I have seen ISP remove files greater than a certain size. Quote
*Experts* Nerseus Posted July 28, 2006 *Experts* Posted July 28, 2006 Also, make sure you remove all but the code files (for example, only keep the CS, CSPROJ, SLN, etc. files). You can often get by with excluding a \bin\ folder (and maybe \obj\). Maybe the scanner is rejecting the EXE within the zip? -ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
