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.

To view a list of file extensions blocked by default, see Types of files that cannot be added to a list or library (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=113663&clcid=0x409).
