"How to" avoiding forbidden alert

"How to" avoiding forbidden alert during zip file upload...
many free hosting sites dont allow to upload zip files,
this can be done by renaming zip file from "name.zip" to "name.ZIP" =)

thanks for the info,
but it wont work on most of the servers that restrict .zip files,
becuase the filters are case- insensitive,
so .zip is same as .ZIP for them.
try renaming the .zip extension to something like .doc or .txt or any other type that is allowed on the web server.

Another method:
find a good web host that allows .zip files.

Yeah lots of free hosts and all paid hosts allow .zip files anyway. Good tip though and works on one of my free web hosts , it also works with .exe's!
