As soon as the user uploads the file(s), pure-uploadscript runs the /root/ban.sh script, which in turn checks against a list of banned extensions. If the extensions match (tar zip rar), it removes the file from the uploaded folder. I hope this makes sense. Don’t forget to pass the script name to it (/root/ban.sh comes after the -r) like this:
