Ecwid and need for a Sandbox

Off Topic
1

Hi all!

I’m building a website for fine art printing where the customer will upload after paying, a file to Ecwid’s servers, where upon, the file will be downloaded to the customer.

I’m awaiting a reply from Ecwid to determine if they scan these files for viruses, I would appreciate any suggestions on what the client should do to minimize problems.

Thanks,

Bryan

What I have done for public upload sites is the following: I accept
the file as an upload into the /tmp folder (basically where all files
go when they are uploaded). Then I try running the photo through
ImageMagick and make a thumbnail of it (ostensibly to show to the
customer, so they can say – yup, that’s mine). If ImageMagick blows
up on the conversion, then you can bet money it’s not an image file.
So if that happens, I delete the original file.

Thanks Walt. Now my eyes are starting to glaze over attempting to install imagemagick!

http://www.entropy.ch for Marc Liyanage’s easy installer, I think. But
you have to install it on your server, not your Mac. (Marc’s installer
works great on the Mac OS X Server, though.) If you’re on a public
server, most of them have ImageMagick already installed. Get to a
shell on the server, and type

convert

at the prompt. If you get a Command not found error, then you will
have to install it, but if you get a version number and whatnot, then
you have it already and you shouldn’t try to install another version.

… and now the eyes have rolled back into my head!

I’ll give it a go and see what happens.
