| Define one or more rules to specify the
action taken (if any) for the selected file types. To add a rule,
specify the following and click Add : Name —Enter
a rule name (up to 31 characters). Applications —Select the applications
the rule applies to or select any . File Types —Click in the file types
field and then click Add to view a list of
supported file types. Click a file type to add it to the profile
and continue to add additional file types as needed. If you select Any ,
the defined action is taken on all supported file types. Direction —Select the direction of
the file transfer ( Upload , Download ,
or Both ). Action —Select the action taken when
the selected file types are detected: alert —An entry is added to the threat
log. block —The file is blocked. continue —A message to the user indicates
that a download has been requested and asks the user to confirm
whether to continue. The purpose is to warn the user of a possible
unknown download (also known as a drive-by-download) and to give
the user the option of continuing or stopping the download. When
you create a file blocking profile with the action continue ,
you can only choose the application web-browsing . If
you choose any other application, traffic that matches the Security
policy rule will not flow through the firewall due to the fact that
the users will not be prompted with a continue page.
