Hi,

I want to protect important data from being downloaded. I was wondering if there is a way to disable downloading of certain file types. Thanks.

For example, if you want to not allow files which extension is txt from being downloaded:
* Open the console
* Press "Configure" in Hosts
* Select "IP Access rules"
* Press "Add"
* Enter /*.txt in "Virtual Path"
* Press "Add" in "Denied IP addresses"
* Enter * in "IP Address"
* Press "OK"
* Press "OK"
* Press "Restart"

You could also set up a folder where you don't want just anyone to have access.
Put all your confidential information in that folder and setup some users in Users and Groups from Abyss' console. Then go to Access Control in the console and password-protect any folders you want to limit access to.
