type : files  
headline : Files  
type : files  
empty : Maybe words are all you need…  
sortBy : filename desc  
template : default  
limit : 16  
image:

The by default uploadable files have been restricted. You now have to set additional allowed filetypes in your file blueprint. See the changelog…

Also checkout `accept` option on file blueprint

> **[File blueprint](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/blueprints/file#accept)**
>
> File blueprints are located in /site/blueprints/files and control the Panel setup and form fields for individual file types.

Similar problem here.

Would like to make a pgp-publik-key uploadable via the panel.

```
pgpkey:
   type: files
   multiple: false
   accept:
       extension: asc

```

I would expact this to work, but it doesn’t. 🤕

I ran into the “invalid filetype” error message on a windows server in a case where I create a temporary file using `tmpfile()`.

The temp-file has a **.tmp** extension on windows:

### Linux

`/private/var/tmp/phpoVvwgt`

### Windows

`C:\Windows\Temp\phpCB62.tmp`

I get image data from an API and load it into Kirby like this:

```php
$temp = tmpfile();
fwrite($temp, $imageResponse);
$page->createFile([
	'source' => stream_get_meta_data($temp)['uri'],
	'template' => 'product-title-image',
	'filename' => $filename
]);
fclose($temp);

```

The `$filename` contains the correct extension (example: db141370.jpg) so I didn’t expect that Kirby would have a problem here.

Took quite some time to debug this. In order to allow both cases I created a file-blueprint and set `accept: true` to disable the filetype-check.

1. you have to use a section
2. you have to apply a template to the uploaded files:

```auto
sections:
  pgpkey:
    headline: PGP Key
    type: files
    max: 1
    template: pgp-key

```

1. You have to create create the [file blueprint](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/blueprints/file) `pgp-key.yml` and add `accept: asc` there.
