Unable to upload any file type but .txt

Steps to reproduce

  1. Log into Website and try and upload files that don’t have the extension .txt

Expected behaviour

All file types should be able to be uploaded via the website.

Actual behaviour

When trying to upload a .psd, .pdf, .png, .jpg, .mp4, .mov, .mp3 I get an error "You don’t have permission to upload or create files here. I have done extensive troubleshooting. .txt and .numbers files upload just fine. If I take the .mov file and rename it with a .txt extension, it uploaded with no issues. It’s only if the file is anything but .txt or so. I can upload a .mov using .txt, then change .txt to .mov using the web interface and it will work fine.

I have no issues using the iOS app to upload any file type.

Hey,

maybe there is something like a security module or setting on your server which causing the problem in ownCloud?

I think your web server logfiles (which have been asked in the template but which have not been provided) could tell you more?
