GhostRider3/3 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 So I am using Winzip and I get this error message when uploading the zipped .btt file. "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons." I followed the beautiful instructions to a T.. this of course is like running into a brick wall, but have experienced it before. Any suggestion would be awesome. James. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I suggest to get a dropbox or similar website account and upload your stuff THERE and then you get a download link to paste HERE at BFC forum and people can get your various maps/scenarios/etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like that may be the case, the problem is, it will be lost here in the forums or something instead of where it should be with all the other scenarios. I will think about it, I hate signing up for more stuff I rarely use.. LOL Im old school non tech. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other cloud providers are available Or email it to me and I'll host it on my own dropbox and sedn you the link for you to share? Just PM me your email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem yesterday when uploading the mini-campaign Alarmeinheiten to the Scenario Depot III. I think I originally had the file zipped with Bandizip and I got the same message you did. I then switched to another zip program (I think WinZip?) and it worked. My Bandizip was not the newest version so maybe had a potential security issue. I would first check that you had the newest version of a zip program. Also, the Scenario Depot is run by @Bootie. He would be able to help out. I'm guessing it's just the version of the Zip program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yeah if its zipped and under 20MB you should be able to upload it fine. Will check the directory to see if i can see what you have done wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy that Bootie, I had been using Winzip. The file is 206kb. Anyways maybe it was a fluke day, will try again later. I had the same issue trying to load another btt. file Barkmann's Corner revisited, so I dont know, its pretty simple stupid and the directions on how to upload are top notch, first class really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
