Blockedfilelist: Stsadm operation (Windows SharePoint Services)
Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Operation name: Blockedfilelist
Description
Enables an administrator to add or delete a file type to the blocked file types list for a Web application.
In Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, if you make a change to the default list of blocked files, it will only apply to farm wide blocked file types. However, if you want to unblock a file type, it needs to be removed from each Web application in the farm.
