Hi Safia,

okay this was a recent security change to tighten the filename extensions allowed to be uploaded/download. the backup extension ('*.bak) isn't on the whitelist so it gets appended with a .txt extension. Thank you for reporting this, we really appreciate problem reports, so we can fix the issues!!!

The interim fix if you need it is to add .bak to the whitelist on line 192 of the file /lib/FileUtility.php .. I've amended the whitelist to include .bak on the GitHub repository (https://github.com/opencats/OpenCATS/pull/620) and the fix will be in the next release.

The 'quick and dirty' workaround is to remove the trailing .bak when you're presented with the URL to download, so for example in my local test system the URL to download the backup is this;

Code: Select all

http://127.0.0.1/OpenCATS-0.9.7.2/attachments/site_180/0xxx/39a4250474cefac3bbd99f7a232059dd//catsbackup.bak.txt

..just remove the end .txt and it'll be fine.. so make it look like this;

Code: Select all
